    Strawberry Cider Poke Cake

    I wanted a special dessert for our family for New Years so I made a Sparkling Cider Strawberry Poke Cake. It is a quick and easy dessert you can make to ring in the New Year or anytime you want to wow your friends and family.

    While at the grocery store, I was getting some sparkling cider to ring in the new year, and thought oooohh, instead of a champagne poke cake, why don’t I make a sparkling cider poke cake?

    I bought several different bottles of Martinellis sparkling cider since it’s so inexpensive and the kids love to have a toast on New Year’s Eve, when I got home and decided to make a strawberry poke cake, I chose the regular apple cider bottle.

    I love how the cake is so moist you only need Cool Whip for the frosting. Another cost savings over my traditional frosting.

    The only drawback with this cake is waiting the 2 hours for it to cool before you can poke and pour the jello over. But we had time and it was a big hit in our home. If I would have had more time, I might have dipped the strawberries in chocolate or soaked them in the cider for a while.

    We had plenty leftover for New Year’s day. This would be a great cake for a birthday or special occasion. I also added some shimmery cake sprinkles from Wilton. It gave it a great sparkle.
