My Grandmother always made the most delicious and beautiful Christmas cakes, this is her recipe. All of us cousins would gather around the cake as she sliced it, begging for the first piece.

Everyone would say ooooh as we saw the green and red colors peek through!

The gelatin mixture will only go down into the holes that you made with the fork. Jell-O poke cakes are not only festive, but they’re delicious too! 

This cake looks like it took a lot of effort, you will be so pleased to see how simple it is to make. It’s perfect for a holiday gathering or potluck.

It’s really snowing here in Maine which is way too early for my liking. So, I love to bake and am taking this opportunity to do so! Celebrate a special occasion with this wonderful cake!

This cake uses a mix which makes a super fluffy cake!

Poke holes in cake with a fork. Pour gelatin in the holes.

Frost cake and add sprinkles! Slice and serve!
