Description

Unicorn Poke Cake is a whimsical, colorful dessert made with white cake, vibrant gelatin, and creamy topping, decorated with sprinkles—perfect for birthdays and celebrations.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, water)
  • 1 package (3 oz) berry blue gelatin
  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry or raspberry gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water, divided
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • Food coloring (pink, blue, purple – optional)
  • Rainbow or unicorn-themed sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Make the white cake according to package instructions and bake in the prepared dish. Let it cool for 15–20 minutes.
  3. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cooled cake.
  4. In separate bowls, mix each gelatin flavor with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved.
  5. Carefully spoon or pour the gelatin mixtures into different holes in the cake to create a colorful effect.
  6. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow gelatin to set.
  7. If desired, tint whipped topping with food coloring for a pastel effect, or leave white.
  8. Spread whipped topping over the chilled cake and decorate with unicorn or rainbow sprinkles.
  9. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes
