When poking the cake do u go all the way to the button of the pan or just half ways …do you cool the jello mixture before pouring over the cake
Do not cool the JELL-O, you’ll want to pour it into the cake while it’s still hot so it absorbs throughout the cake. You can go almost to the bottom of the pan, or halfway – either way, it will make for an interesting mixture!
