Made this for my boyfriend’s birthiday a couple of years ago and we loved it! He has requested it again this year so of course I will make it. It smells heavenly in the oven while baking and the whipped cream frosting is divine.
Great recipe! Light and creamy, perfect for a summer dessert. I used sugar free jello and pudding mix, and as others suggested, 1 cup of water. I used an electric mixer to beat together the milk, jello and pudding mix until it thickened before folding in the Cool Whip, which made the frosting smooth and creamy. I was never a fan of poke cakes, but this one is a keeper!
This is delicious. I wasn’t sure what pudding flavor to get, so I stuck with vanilla. I’m curious how lemon pudding would add to it though. I’ll try that next time.
Lover this! Made a few changes not on my own. Sent my son to the store for lemon jello and he got pudding instead. So I went with it. Lemon cake mix. Lemon pudding for poke part. Dream whip and vanilla pudding with lemon juice and zest. Was fantastic!
Wow! This is a keeper. Reminds me of Key Lime Pie in flavor. The only change I made was one cup of hot water only to the jello for pouring over the cake. The frosting was perfect. Will be making this often. Thank You for the recipe
