freeze the cake<\/a> after you poke holes in it (they come out nicer when you poke a slightly warm cake). Wrap the unfrosted cake in plastic and aluminum foil and store it in the freezer for up to two months. Thaw the cake in the refrigerator before adding the gelatin.<\/p>\nFreezing a frosted poke cake isn\u2019t ideal because the whipped topping might change texture when thawed, but if you must, freeze it uncovered first. Once solid, wrap the cake tightly and store it for up to two months. You can freeze a whole cake or individual slices this way. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving it.<\/p>\n
Can you make Jell-O poke cake ahead of time?<\/h3>\n You can make the cake portion of a Jell-O poke cake ahead of time and store it in the fridge or freezer. Poke holes in the cake before storing it, though. Getting suitable holes is easier when the cake is still a bit warm. After poking the holes, allow it to cool, then wrap it tightly.<\/p>\n
Jell-O Poke Cake Tips<\/h2>\n TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWhat is the best way to poke holes in a poke cake?<\/h3>\n It’s best to poke holes in your cake when it\u2019s warm. A completely cooled cake will have a more crumbly texture, and the holes won’t be as clean. You can use a fork to poke the holes in a poke cake, but it\u2019s better to use something wider, like the end of a wooden spoon.<\/p>\n
Can you use fresh strawberries for Jell-O poke cake?<\/h3>\n For Jell-O poke cake, you can use fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones. Clean and slice fresh berries, add sugar, and let them sit for at least 30 minutes. Macerating the strawberries will draw out liquid, which you want to add to the gelatin before pouring over the cake. Decorating the top of the cake with pretty halved fresh strawberries is a good look.<\/p>\n
Why is my Jell-O poke cake soggy?<\/h3>\n A few things will cause a soggy poke cake with Jell-O. The holes should be spaced at least 1\/2 to 1 inch apart; if they\u2019re too close, there will be too much Jell-O in one area, resulting in a soggy cake. Pour the Jell-O when the cake is cooled (but still a little warm). If it\u2019s too hot, it will turn the cake texture to mush. Allowing the cake to chill and set for a few hours is necessary; if you rush it, your cake will be liquified.<\/p>\n
How do you get a clean slice of Jell-O poke cake?<\/h3>\n To get a clean slice of Jell-O cake, use a serrated knife and clean the knife after each slice. That way you won’t make a mess of the whipped topping. Also, make sure the cake is chilled when serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
