I always love to make Jell-O Poke & Pour cakes for holidays because they are so easy to do! Here’s a St. Patrick’s Day Jello Poke Cake that is perfectly designed, themed green, and filled with luck.
St. Patrick’s Day Jello Poke Cake – Lime Flavored
To make the green version of the classic poke cake recipe, all you have to do is purchase Lime flavored Jello. There are so many different variations you can do with this design in mind. Here are some that are available on my blog:
But for St. Patty’s, you want a bright green hue and a hint of citrus! That’s where the lime green Jello will come into play. Let’s break down the ingredients and how to get started with this light and fluffy dessert.
Lime Jello Poke Recipe Ingredients:
- White cake mix – The white cake mix will help make the lime POP. This is a recipe where you don’t want to use traditional yellow mix.
- Ingredients to make cake – oil, water, egg whites. Please check the back of the cake box for instructions.
- Lime jello and water – You will be pouring this into the cake and the color will show up in the sponge.
- Whipped topping – This must be thawed. So, be sure to set it aside with ample enough time to defrost.
- St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles – Be sure to plan ahead and order online or head to the store once these seasonal items hit the shelf.
Directions:
Prepare and bake cake according to package directions and cool completely. Use a bamboo skewer or thick fork to poke holes in your cake about 1/’2 apart. Set aside.
Mix jello with boiling water and stir for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add cold water and stir well. Gently pour over the cake, making sure you pour a little into each hole. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until ready to serve.
Add whipped topping and sprinkles. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve or slice immediately into 18 squares. Store any leftover cake covered and refrigerated.
This recipe makes 18 squares.
