Valentine’s Day Poke Cake

Valentine’s Day Poke Cake will be the favorite dessert at your Valentine’s Day Party!

A few months back, I made a delicious Boomer Sooner Strawberry Cake that my husband has been begging me to make again.  When, I was shopping at the store and saw the Valentine Jell-O Jigglers, I knew that I would be remaking that delicious cake with a Valentine spin!

This is one of my absolute favorite cakes to make, it’s so simple and so yummy!  I also think the jigglers are so fun.  They come out perfectly in the Valentine inspired shapes and they make a simple cake look perfect for the day of love.

I only made one set of the jigglers with the mold that was in the Valentine kit and it was just enough for the cake.  The kit actually comes with two boxes of Strawberry Jell-O and that’s all you need for the entire cake.  It will take one package for the molds and then another to top the cake with, so you only need a few more ingredients.

I also decided to use some of my Valentine sprinkles on the cake too just to give it another element of color.  My daughter was ready to dig into it as I was taking pictures.

Of course, then she opted to pick up my back up camera and join me taking pictures.  I love that she learns what I do during the day, it’s so adorable to watch her taking pictures with me.  I’m anxious for her to be able to cook alongside me too, I know that will be coming soon!

Are you ready for a slice of cake?  It’s time!

Happy ‘Almost’ Valentine’s Day!
