I love it when desserts are fast and impressive. There’s nothing from scratch it’s all easy to use boxed mixes so you can throw it together and have more time for other things (like sewing!).
Elegant in it’s look you’ll love the pop of color this cake gives once you cut into it. While putting it together is fast just make sure you allow enough time for the cake to cool and set!
Super Easy Unicorn Poke Cake Recipe
Step 1 – Prep
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a
9×13 inch baking pan with a light coating of cooking
spray. Set aside.
Step 2 – Make the Cake Mix
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, vegetable oil and eggs. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 3 – Bake the Cake
Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4 – Poke the Unicorn Poke Cake
Allow the cake to cool, then using the handle of a wooden spoon poke holes over each inch of the cake. Set aside.
Step 5 – Make the Amazing Color
5. In three small bowls, combine each jello package with 1 cup boiling water. Whisk together until fully combined.
Step 6 – Make it Unicorn Colors
Use a Tablespoon to pour jello mixture into the holes in cake, alternating colors according to preference until each hole has been filled. Do not use all the jello. Over filling the holes will saturate the cake and ruin the fun color lines – it can also make your cake stogey.
Step 7 – Let the Unicorn Poke Cake Set and Finish
Place the cake into the refrigerator and let it cool for 2 hours. If desired, color the whipped topping and spread over the cooled cake and top with sprinkles as desired before serving.
Handy Tip: You will have lots of jello leftover, so be sure to prepare a glass pan for some jello jigglers!
