White Raspberry Poke Cake Recipe (2024)

Poke cakes are the best cakes. They have way more flavor, and are way more moist, and filled with all the good stuff. If you have never tried one, I highly recommend trying our White Raspberry Poke Cake recipe.

White Raspberry Poke Cake Recipe (1)

My husband loves poke cakes, so for his birthday this year I made this White Chocolate Raspberry Poke Cake and he absolutely loved it.

It was so easy to make and tasted amazing. I usually use sweetened condensed milk in my poke cakes, but using Jell-O made this cake light and refreshing rather than heavy.

We are already looking for an excuse to make it again.

Does anyone have a birthday coming up that we can celebrate with you? Because I really need this in my life again.

If you have never tried a poke cake recipe, this is a great one to try. It’s not extremely rich, but has so much delicious fruity, raspberry flavor, I am sure you will love.

what other fruit could i use besides raspberries?

This recipe calls for raspberries. I chose raspberries because they are my personal favorite fruit, however, you could easily switch it up.

If you are looking for a different fruit, here are a few I recommend:

  • blackberries
  • cherries
  • strawberries
  • pineapple
  • peaches

Of course if you switch up the fruit that goes on this, you will also want to switch out the Jello for a similar fruit flavor.

You could also switch out the almond pieces for coconut, or use nothing at all.

does this need to be refrigerated?

Poke Cakes taste best when they are refrigerated. You of course don’t have to refrigerate them, but we do recommend it.

They taste best when they are cold, and it helps the cake stay together better, and keep it’s form.
