Delicious raspberry zinger poke cake recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, plus ingredients called for on the box
  • 1 package (3 oz) raspberry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tub (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries, for garnish
  • Raspberry Zinger snack cakes, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the white cake mix according to package directions and bake in a 9×13 inch pan. Let cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the cake using the end of a wooden spoon or a fork.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, dissolve the raspberry gelatin in the boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  4. Step 4: Slowly pour the raspberry gelatin mixture over the warm cake, making sure it seeps into all the holes. Then, pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin is set.
  6. Step 6: Spread the thawed whipped topping over the cake. Garnish with fresh raspberries and Raspberry Zinger snack cakes before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftover cake in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days to keep it fresh and the whipped topping stable.
  • This cake is best served chilled, so no reheating is necessary; it's perfect straight from the fridge!
  • For an extra zing, try drizzling a little raspberry syrup over each slice just before serving to enhance the fruity flavor.
  • To prevent the gelatin from making the cake soggy, ensure it's fully dissolved in the boiling water and cooled slightly before pouring over the warm cake.
