🇺🇸 4th of July Poke Cake 🎉

There’s no dessert more festive for Independence Day than a vibrant red, white, and blue poke cake! This showstopping treat combines moist vanilla cake with jewel-toned Jello pockets and fluffy whipped topping — a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.

But let’s be honest — some poke cakes turn out soggy. Others lack that perfect "wow" factor. And nobody wants their patriotic dessert to look more muted than fireworks in the rain.

So what’s the trick to creating picture-perfect layers that hold their color without turning mushy?

It all comes down to three simple but crucial steps most home bakers miss — from the cake temperature to the Jello ratio.
