strawberry jello poke cake

The picture isn't the greatest, but I was supposed to be serving the cake, not photographing it according to my children so I was rushed.

You have probably all had this before, but I decided to put this on here once Scott declared this is his favorite cake, and he wants it for his birthday cake. He normally isn't a cake person but he says this is more moist than any other cakes. It's not my absolute favorite, but as a rule I don't turn down cake.

Its very simple and a relatively light dessert if you substitute some ingredients.

These are directions more than a recipe so feel free to substitute or change up whatever you want.
