Fireball Poke Cake
Fireball Poke Cake - Make a dessert for the adults with this Fireball Poke Cake recipe! Made like your traditional poke cake, except a kick of Fireball whiskey is added to the jello. It makes for one heck of an addition to any adult get-together.
Ingredients
- 2 boxes white cake mix, 14.25 oz each
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 box cherry jell-o, 3oz
- 1 cup Fireball Whiskey
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 tub cool whip, 16oz
- red hots, for garnish
- red sanding sugar, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit and spray a 9x13 cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mixes, eggs, oil, and milk. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the mixture until no lumps remain. Do not overbeat.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let rest for about 20 minutes or until cooled.
- Using the handle end of a wooden spoon, make holes in the cake, about every ½ inch to an inch. Do not press it through all the way to the bottom, just a little over halfway through.
- Set the cake aside and place the jello in a medium mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over the top and stir until the jello is fully dissolved. Add the Fireball and give a slight stir.
- Using a pourable measuring cup (I use a 2-cup size) slowly pour the jello over the cake, covering every inch and ensuring it gets in every hole.
- Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours or until set.
- Coat the top of the cake with cool whip, then sprinkle with red sanding sugar and red hots, if desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
