Low-Point Strawberry Poke Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 box (approx. 15.25 oz) zero sugar cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 box (approx. 3 oz) strawberry-flavored gelatin (Jello)
- 1 container (8 oz) sugar-free Cool Whip
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and unsweetened applesauce. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or dish.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cake according to the instructions on the cake mix box, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan.
- While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the strawberry-flavored gelatin (Jello) according to the instructions on the package.
- Carefully pour the prepared gelatin over the warm cake, ensuring that it seeps into the holes and covers the entire surface.
- Place the cake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin is set.
- Once chilled, spread the sugar-free Cool Whip over the top of the cake, using a spatula to smooth it out evenly.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the Cool Whip.
- Slice the cake into 20 servings and serve chilled.
