Easter Poke Cake is a pretty pastel cake with grape and strawberry flavors. Jell-O is added to vanilla cake to create beautiful colors inside that appear when you cut the cake.
Preheat your oven to 350F and prepare a 9 x 13 baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, butter, milk, and eggs and whisk or mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake according to the box directions (mine was about 30 minutes) then allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
While you are waiting for the cake to cool, prepare the Jell-O mix according to the box instructions.
Once the cake is slightly cooled, use a straw or the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
Alternate adding each Jell-O flavor into each hole. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the Jell-O is set.
In the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a whisk attachment, or using an electric hand mixer, add the heavy cream and whip until it starts to thicken.
Add the vanilla and confectioners’ sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form and the whipped cream starts to clump in the whisk.
Place the whipped cream on top of the cake and smooth. Top with sprinkles and serve.
