For this pineapple poke cake recipe, I combined two favorite cake recipes to come up with this one. It is always a hit at parties and potlucks; the topping really makes this one great. Lemon Jell-O works well, too.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix

  • 1 cup water

  • cup vegetable oil

  • 3 egg whites

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 1 (6 ounce) package pineapple-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O)

  • ¾ cup cold water

  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Beat cake mix, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and egg whites together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes.

  4. Combine 1 cup boiling water and pineapple-flavored gelatin in a bowl until gelatin dissolved; stir in 3/4 cup cold water.

  5. Poke holes in cake using a skewer or straw; spoon gelatin mixture evenly over cake. Refrigerate for 4 hours.

  6. Combine pineapple and pudding mix in a bowl; fold in whipped topping. Spread evenly over chilled cake; refrigerate at least 2 hours more.

Editor's Note:

The directions for making the cake are based on a Duncan Hines cake mix. Follow instructions on the box if using a different brand.
