  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 box vanilla cake mix
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup water
– 1/3 cup vegetable oil
– 1 box strawberry Jell-O (3 oz)
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 cup cold water
– 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
– Fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Strawberry Jell-O Poke Cupcakes is straightforward. Follow these steps for amazing results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

2. Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until just combined.

3. Pour Batter: Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

4. Bake: Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Cool Cupcakes: Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Prepare Jell-O: In a medium bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until completely dissolved. Then add 1 cup of cold water and mix.

7. Poke Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, use a fork or a skewer to poke holes in the tops of each cupcake. Make sure to create several holes to allow the Jell-O to seep in.

8. Add Jell-O: Slowly pour the prepared Jell-O mixture over the tops of the cupcakes, ensuring it seeps into the holes.

9. Chill: Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 2 hours, allowing the Jell-O to set.

10. Frost: After the Jell-O has set, top each cupcake with whipped topping.

11. Garnish: Decorate with fresh strawberries or any desired toppings for an extra touch.
