Strawberry Cream Poke Cake!!! AMAZING!!!

When your husband shows you a recipe and says "you should make this", that really means "you better make this" I haven't made a dessert in a LONG time, i have tried to make cookies TWICE recently and both have been fails and i have no idea why.. Simple chocolate chip cookies F-A-I-L!!!

SO, ANYWAY! Strawberry Cream Poke Cake -- Hello AMAZING!!!
This cake is so simple and so delicious! The recipe is from a great website , Butter With a Side of Bread has so many awesome recipes!
I pretty much followed this recipe exactly as the directions called for. The only thing I didnt really do was wait the full 3 hours to put the icing on it, I was heading to bed so I really only waited about 2 hours! I don't think it made any difference

You can follow the recipe here!

Here are some of the ingredients!

You basically make a white boxed cake as the directions on the back of the box call for. Once it is cooled, take a fork and poke holes all along the top of the cake. The more holes the more the jello mixture will seep through! I poked A LOT of holes!  

Once cooled and poked, make your liquid jello and add cold water then pour all along the top of the cake. This is where I didn't follow the directions completely. Place in the refrigerator and let sit for 3 hours (or two if your ready to go to bed like I was). You then take a container of Cool Whip whipped topping and a container of whipped frosting and mix together, add in the almond extract. You have to stir for awhile and I let it sit out so the Cool Whip would soften a little more {my arm was getting tired from stirring} Once it is fully mixed up and a good consistency then spread it over the top of the cake and add your strawberries for garnish! 

I put it back in the refrigerator overnight. It is delicious!!! 

I hope this will fulfill your sweet tooth! enjoy!
