Cherry Dream Poke Cake Video Transcript
Hi, welcome to the Rada kitchen! My name is Kristy, and today I’d like to share a recipe for a Cherry Dream Poke Cake. I actually got this recipe from a loyal fan of Rada Cutlery, her name is Misty Cluck, and she’s a homesteader. Make sure to check out her YouTube videos, she has a lot of good, old fashioned recipes. This was her daughter’s favorite cake, and it would be a great one for Christmas, with its whites and reds. We also offer a Poke Cake recipe book. It has over 30 different flavors of poke cake, some with pudding, some with gelatin.
Now, I’ve prepared a box of white cake with all the ingredients to make it. I have it in my oven right now. It’s almost done. The first thing you want to do is mix up the gelatin. Here I have a cup and a half of boiling water and to that I’m going to add a three and a half ounce box of cherry gelatin.
So I just removed my cake from the oven, I’m going to let that sit for about 3 to 5 minute so it’s not too hot on the top. So after it has cooled we’re going to take a meat fork like this Rada Two Prong Fork and poke holes. This is where the gelatin is going to soak in, so make sure you get the edges and corners. It almost has a marbled effect.
Now you’re going to pour that gelatin over the cake. Now you’re going to let this sit for 15 minutes then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. So our gelatin cake has been in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, so now we’re going to make a cream cheese layer. We take 8 ounces of cream cheese and beat that until it’s smooth.
To this we’re going to fold in 2 cups whipped topping. Then we’re going to carefully spread that over our cake. Don’t press too hard or the crumbs will come up. Lastly, we’re going to top that with a 21 ounce can of cherry pie filling. You’ll want to cover your cake and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Enjoy the delicious cake!
