Jello Poke Cake

Description

My son is mad about Jello.Other than chocolate cake he only like jello poke cake which is absolutely very delicious, tender and easy to made. Last time I made that cake believe me I didn't get time to shoot a picture its gone. This time I hide it and able to shoot some picture for blog. For this recipe first we need to make a sponge cake then poke it with a chopstick and pour jello then refrigerate to set. I use some vanilla butter cream for frosting and chopped nuts for garnishing. Fresh fruits, chocolate cream or any other garnishing can be used as per choice.
