Keto Strawberry Poke Cake
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 1 (15.25 oz) box sugar-free white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling:
- 1 (0.3 oz) package sugar-free strawberry flavored gelatin mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
For the topping:
- 1 (8 oz) package full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or stevia (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced, to garnish
Preparation:
For the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sugar-free cake mix, eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, 1 cup water, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the package instructions, typically 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Then, use the end of a wooden spoon or a large fork to pierce holes all over the cake.
For the filling:
- In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar-free strawberry gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water until fully combined.
- Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it fills all the holes. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
For the topping:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol or stevia, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Spread the topping evenly over the chilled cake.
- Top with sliced strawberries.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your keto-friendly Strawberry Poke Cake!
