About Jello Poke Cake Recipe
This cake calls for store bought white cake mix or yellow cake mix, but i made my own yellow cake because i always love making cakes from scratch.
And also to make it more healthier i added some wheat flour in it too. You can simply leave that out and use all purpose flour. My jelly didn't penetrate into the cake as expected that is because i added wheat flour in it, but still it tasted great. So if you wanna have a more fluffier cake, just add in all purpose flour instead of wheat flour. Give this cake a try and let me know how it turned out for you..

rafia khurshid
Thank u for such a great recipe Can we bake this cake in pressure cooker....?
Aarthi
@rafia khurshidyes i think u can make it
Archana
Arthi, this jelly mixture available in shops have some medical smell in it... Can tell me which brand you are using in this recipe and one one more question
Is it good to blend babies food? I have heard tat blending would break the nutrients. Namma matthu use panni kadainja better a irukkumla?
Aarthi
@ArchanaI use weikfield jello mix.
And yes u r right, but maha likes everything super smooth, if it is a little grainy then she makes like vomiting. So i puree them,but you can use mathu too.
meenakshi
i want to make this cake but i want to know the texture and how does a jello taste and texture in this cake?
thanks
Aarthi

Sarah Gul
Can we use ghee instead of butter in this recipe?
Aarthi
@Sarah GulYes i hope you can use
Sarah Gul
Hi Aarthi.!
Hope you'll be fine. Today I'd tried your recipes of Jello Cake and Mango Cake, both are yummy and delicious, I'd made both cakes in pressure cooker and used ghee instead of butter, both are perfect. I can't upload picture here otherwise I'd showed you pictures of cakes. Thanks for nice recipes. Soon I'll try your other recipes, because they are simple to make, in budget and according to my taste. Thanks again.
