Tie-Dye Poke Cake and Giveaway

ByLizzy Mae Early

Easy Tie Dye Poke Cake

School’s out for summer! (I hope you read that in the sing-songy voice, because I sure did 🙂 ) But yes, school is out around here in Provo so it’s time to celebrate with some summer lovin’ from the kitchen.  Tie-Die Poke Cake. It’s made with a cake mix, so it’s plenty easy and no-stress.  And just top it off with some crushed graham crackers or cookies and with a few cherries to make it gorgeous! So perfect for a birthday party or a picnic. Pick colors to fit your party… pinks and purples for the ladies or maybe even different shades of green to make a “camo” cake!

On a personal note… I’m going to be a camp counselor this summer! Woot woot!! I’ll be working at EFY for 7 weeks and I could not be more excited.  It’s a camp that changed my life and I really can’t wait to get started.  But don’t worry! The recipes will still keep coming 🙂  I’m going to be working like a mad woman to get all the recipes posted ahead of time so you won’t miss a thing!

Tie Dye Poke Cake

The Story:

I somehow got it stuck in my head that tie-dye was “cool” for every day of the year.  I was a Sophomore in high school and a total loser.  So what did I wear in my school picture that year? Wet hair, too much eye liner and a tie-dye shirt.  Not even a good tie-dye you buy off Amazon or anything.  No, this was a homemade one that didn’t have much color on it at all–it was just lame.

Oh year book photos…

  • 1/2 C. buttermilk or milk
  • 1/4 C. sour cream

For Decorating:

  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • Frozen whipped topping or whipped cream
  • Graham Crackers crushed
  • Maraschino Cherries

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 13 X 9 inch pan.
  • 2. For each color of batter, mix in a separate bowl.
  • 3. Combine egg, oil, buttermilk and sour cream, then add cake mix and stir until smooth. (Repeat this in separate bowls to make each color.)
  • 4. Pour all three colors in pan and swirl colors together.
  • 5. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
  • 6. Let cake cool.
  • 7. Poke holes all over the top of the cake using a fork or something bigger like the end of a wooden spoon. Pour sweeten condensed milk over cake and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • 8. Spread whipped topping over cake, and cover with crushed graham crackers and maraschino cherries!
  • NOTE: You can use a normal Pillsbury White or Yellow cake mix and dye the batter yourself! Just use one box, mix as directed and then separate batter to dye it.

First of all, I LOVE these mixes because they come in little bags that make 12 cupcakes each! I made some fun Garden Carrot Cupcakes with the orange flavor last week, but I wanted to do something a little more psychedelic his time 🙂
