Strawberry Poke Cake

What makes this poke cake so special? After this lightened-up cake is baked and cooled, it's poked with holes (hence the name!) and filled with fresh pureed strawberries, thickened with gelatin to prevent the cake from getting soggy. The end result? Sweet strawberry flavor inside and out!
