Strawberry American Flag Poke Cake

Poke cakes seem to be extremely popular this past year in the food blogging community.

A cake is baked, either from a mix or from scratch, and after it cools for a bit you poke holes throughout it and pour jello or pudding over the top.

Since the Fourth of July is just around the corner, it seemed the perfect time to make a patriotic strawberry poke cake.
