I made this for our 4th of July cookout, and it received rave reviews. It was my first Poke Cake, and it was fantastic. great recipe, easy to do. I used maraschino cherries and bluberries to create a flag cake, sticking with the holiday theme. I also used cherry Jell-o to match the cherry pie filling. I think you could probably use any flavor Jell-o and fruit topping and it would be just as good! A nice change from a traditional cake with buttercream frosting - great summer recipe.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I made it for the lake and it was a big hit. I put red white and blue m and m's on it for the holiday.

this cake is soooooo moist. I am so surprise that it is so easy to make. I love plain cake like this. Next time, I will try to put some peach inbetween the layers and also use peach jello. I think the peach favor will compliment the cake so well. Thanks for the recipes. I can almost eat the whole cake by myself.

I have made this cake for many years, but I changed things around and made it a delicious cake. I made a chocolate cake, with cherry jello, cherry pie filling and topped it with chocolate cool whip. But of course you have to like chocolate and cherry together, my family loves the two together. of course it is good also if you top it off with chopped pecans.

Made this for the 4th of July, using blue jello to make it more patriotic. Looked and tasted awesome. Big hit with everyone. Used less whipped topping, about 3/4 of the tub, or less. Not big on whipped topping myself but I think next time I will just use an extra can of cherries as topping and omit the whipped topping. Cant wait to try other flavors of jello and pie fillings.

This great has gotten rave reviews every time I make it. I use applesauce in place of oil for the cake and then use sugar free jello and sugar free cherry pie filling (hard to find sometimes, but it's out there) and sugar free Whip Topping. AS far as cake goes it makes it kind of healthy. I like to make cakes and my husaband says by far this is his most favorite!

My husband requested a poke cake because his mom used to make them for him. I found this recipe and was a little put off because I thought it would be WAY too sweet! But I was so wrong, it is SOOOOO good! Try this, you won't be disappointed.

This is really good! I like to mix lemon pudding mix with the whip topping for added flavor. If it is too gritty add a teaspoon or two of milk while mixing:) Then spread, VERY YUMMY!

A great cake--easy to make, moist with a great taste! I used blue gelatin to make this a 4th of July dessert, and it looked very nice. I'll make this one again!

I've made this recipe a few times and have always had rave reviews. To make things a bit healthier, I use light pie filling, sugar free gelatin, and fat free whipped topping. I have changed a few things-- more pie filling and a bit more whipped topping. Overall, though, a super recipe.

Play around with this recipe, its lots of fun. I made a chocolate cake mix (added a box of instant pudding and one egg) and baked in a 9x13. Then I poured raspberry gelatin over the top, chilled, cut in half and filled the middle layer with raspberry jelly, and frosted with dark chocolate frosting. Delicious!

Great cake! I do have one problem with it though.....my husband ate half of it a few hours after I made it. LOL I did change just one little thing about the recipe. I used a wooden spoon handle to make the holes instead of a fork. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
