So, there is cake and then there is poke cake. I am clearly obsessed. Unashamedly I might add. And actually, this fruity dessert was a request from the hubby. He really doesn’t even like sweets (I KNOW!) but loves raspberries. After packing up my last poke cake to take his co-workers – this Red White & Blue Poke Cake – he asked if I was planning on making a raspberry cake anytime soon. Huh. Great idea. Honey, your wish is my command.
Raspberry Poke Cake
Classic white cake is one of my favorite bases for poke cakes. I just use a boxed cake mix, but feel free to make your cake from scratch if you like. Even once it is baked, the cake is bright and nearly white and pops against colorful Jell-o that settles in and firms up while the cake is chilling. Just look at that gorgeous magenta raspberry color!
If you have never made a poke cake, then you are in for a treat! This is a chilled dessert which is absolutely perfect for hot Summer get togethers and parties. Even better, since it stays in the fridge, you can make it a day or two in advance so your entertaining just got so easy!
This poke cake recipe is SO versatile, so if you are not a huge raspberry fan, then you might like one of these versions:

- Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake
- Lemon Strawberry Poke Cake

Honestly, I’ve never met a poke cake I didn’t like!
