This recipe is made super simple by using a box cake mix. You can, of course, make the cake from scratch if you have the time and energy, but I’m all about quick and easy when it comes to making desserts! With just 6 ingredients and 5 steps, this poke cake certainly qualifies as both of those.
Start by preparing and baking the cake according to package directions. Once cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake every inch or so, only pressing down halfway. Next, mix together raspberry Jello and hot water and pour over the cake. The Jello will fit perfectly into the holes you just created, as well as bleed over into the cake itself.
After the Jello has been poured, microwave raspberry preserves and spread over the top of the cake. Finally, top with whipped cream and shredded coconut! The end result is a delicious, moist cake with a zing of raspberry and sweet coconut flavor.
