Description

Watermelon poke cake was my attempt at making a cake taste like watermelon. Which is kind of hard to do with a real watermelon. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15oz) box cake mix (any flavor, yellow and white is best)
  • 1 (1/3 ounce) box Watermelon jello
  • 1 (12 ounce) can diet soda, any flavor
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
  • 8 ounces fat-free whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Mix cake mix with diet soda and applesauce, mix until well blended.
  2. Pour batter into desired pan (I use 13x9).
  3. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until done.
  4. Cool cake and then poke holes in cake with knife or fork approximately one inch apart.
  5. Prepare jello as directed (typically this uses 2 cups of water, 1 boiling 1 cold).
  6. Pour jello over cake evenly.
  7. Place cake in refrigerator for 1-2 hours until cooled.
  8. Frost with cool-whip and enjoy!
