There’s nothing like waiting until the last minute. If you were unexpectedly invited to a party or just looking for a inexpensive desert the Angel Food Poke cake is the way to go! It gives the dish a little extra something special.
- Store bought angel food cake (of make one if you have time!)
- Box of Strawberry Jello
- 1 c strawberries, quarted
- ¼ c orange juice
You can also top your dessert with vanilla ice cream or whip cream, if desired.
You’ll start by bringing a cup of water to a boil. While your water is heating up, take a straw an poke holes throughout your angel food cake.
When your water is boiling, add your Jello mix into the water and stir well until dissolved. Add a half a cup of cold water and continue stirring.
When your jello mix is well combined and still hot, pour the jello water over the top of your angel food cake evenly coating the top of the cake.
You don’t need to use all the Jello mix, just make sure everything is well coated. You can put the rest of your jello in a bowl in the fridge to set up as Jello and enjoy that later.
Your Angel Food Poke cake is almost ready! Just stick it in the fridge for 4-5 hours to allow the Jello time to set up. Place your strawberries into a separate bowl with the orange juice and let marinate.
When you are ready to serve, you will drizzle your strawberry and OJ mixture on top of the cake along side vanilla ice cream or whipping cream, if desired.
