PLEASE POKE THE CAKE

IF you are reading this I am
assuming that the world did
NOT go spinning out of control
as was predicted by many
"experts".
If it DID and TOOK ME
you will have this recipe
to remember me by!

SO...POKE THE CAKE?

That's Right!

Poke the Cake.

Better than a cake in the pokey*,

right?
Or at least I think so...
Can't say as
I have never BEEN in the pokey*,
have you?
Never mind- some things are
best kept to oneself.
*Pokey= jail 

This is an OLD OLD recipe.

I have been making it 

since my kids were little.

I am a creature of habit

so I am

STILL MAKING this cake.

It presents so sweetly!

If you click on the photo above

it will take you right to the recipe.

You start with this:

Bake the cake as normal
in 8" or 9"round pans.
While it is still hot
poke holes into it.
Like this...

Wondering what the green is there,
are you?
Well, it's NOT mold.
No, indeedy...it is 
GREEN JELLO.

And guess what?
You do the same thing with the
other layer with RED JELLO.

Then stick them in the fridge so 
the Jello sets up.
In a couple of hours, set the pan
in a bit of hot water for a minute
and then pop them out of the pan.
Frost them with one of 
God's not-really-cream
creations.

Like this!

Layer them and then 
"frost" all over with 
Cool Whip.
Then, put a few little berries
on top of that baby to dress it up.

Watch your grandkids eyes
light up when you cut into it.
If you did it right~
At some point it will look 
like THIS!

Every family needs a 
TEST TASTER.
As Martha Stewart would say.
That's a good thing.
