Equipment

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, and water. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  3. Step 3: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Once the cake has cooled slightly, poke holes all over the top of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
  5. Step 5: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the strawberry or raspberry sauce over half of the cake and the blueberry sauce over the other half, swirling them gently for a marbled effect.
  7. Step 7: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Step 8: After chilling, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake.
  9. Step 9: Decorate with fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries on top.
  10. Step 10: Slice and serve the cake chilled. Enjoy your festive Red, White, & Blue Poke Cake!
