My mom found this as a Jello advertisement in a magazine back when I was a little girl. She made it once around Christmas time and I loved it so much that I asked for one every year as my Birthday Cake. Everyone loves this cake and it is so pretty around the holidays!

How To Make christmas poke cake

Step 1

Remove the cakes from cake pans and cool.

Step 2

Place cooled cake layers, top sides up in 2 clean 9 inch round cake pans.
Step 3

Pierce layers with a large fork at 1/2 inch intervals. (I use a chop stick or skewer)
Step 4

Stir 1 cup of boiling water into each flavor of dry jello mix in separate bowls at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
Step 5

Carefully pour red gelatin over 1 cake layer and green gelatin over the second cake layer. Refrigerate 3 hours.
Step 6

Dip 1 cake pan in warm water for 10 seconds; unmold onto serving plate. Frost with cool whip. Refrigerate for 1 hour or more before serving.
