What is a Jello Poke Cake?
Poke cakes are simple cakes that you bake and then poke holes in, using the back of wooden spoon, and then fill with some type of filling; jello, cream cheese or pudding. For this peach cake recipe we are using peach jello to fill the holes of the cake.
Ingredients Needed For Peaches & Cream Poke Cake
Here is all you need to make this simple recipe:
- French Vanilla cake mix, plus ingredients to make cake
- Peach flavored Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
Frosting Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 ripe peaches for topping the cake
How to make Peach Jello Poke Cake
To make, prepare the cake according to the directions on the back of the package. Pour into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and bake as directed.
Allow the cake to cool for 15-20 minutes. Using the back of a small wooden spoon or even the tines of a large fork, poke holes into the baked cake. I only poke half way down into the cake and evenly space out the holes.
Combine the boiling water and the Jello, until the Jello is completely dissolved. Pour the Jello all over the cake, making sure to get Jello into the poked holes.
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the Jello to cool and set.
How to make Cream Cheese Frosting
To make the cream cheese frosting, combine the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth using a hand or stand mixer. Add in the vanilla and mix. Mix in the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until the frosting is to the desired consistency.
Once the peach poke cake has cooled frost with the cream cheese frosting by spreading evenly over the top of the cake.
Just before serving the cake, slice fresh peaches into thin slices and layer on the top of the cake. Store any leftover cake covered in the fridge.

Can I make Jello Poke Cake ahead?
You can make poke cakes ahead of time! Since this cake has to chill to set for a few hours, it’s actually perfect to make the day or night before. Just store the cake in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. When making this Peach Poke Cake, I’d also reserve the fresh peaches and top the cake with them just prior to serving, so that they don’t dry out.
Can I use a different cake mix?
You can use any variation of vanilla cake mix. I also think it’d be delicious with a spice cake mix!
What if I can’t find Peach Jello?
I find the greatest variety of jello and pudding flavors at Walmart. If you still can’t find it in a store, you can purchase it online here.
