I'm a child of the 70's so I have many fond memories of family gatherings where a JELLO Poke cake was served for dessert. A Chocolate Pistachio Poke Cake was my all time favorite flavor of poke cakes.

I love trying out new ways to make easy dessert recipes so I decided to see if I could cook my favorite JELLO Poke cake in my Crock Pot Casserole Slow Cooker.

I have found that the Crock Pot Casserole Slow Cooker is not only the perfect slow cooker for making crock pot casserole recipes but it will slow cook a crock pot cake recipe perfectly.

Like this gorgeous Crock Pot Upside Down Pineapple Cake I made a while back.
