Do you remember the iconic movie “Beetlejuice” and its kooky characters? If so, you’re in for a treat! We’re diving into the delicious world of Beetlejuice with A Super Easy BeetleJuice Jello Poke Cake.
The Inspiration: Beetlejuice Movie
Have you seen Beetlejuice? There are 2 movies now! I’ve only seen the first one but will probably see the 2nd one soon.
I loved the 1st movie mainly because the ghost characters were The Maitlands and my maiden is Maitland and my brother’s name is Adam! haha, so we have our own Adam Maitland lol.
If you don’t know, Adam Maitland and Barbara Maitland are the main ghost characters in the first Beetlejuice Movie.
However, there are no Beetles, Maitlands or Ghosts in this dessert, just the white, purple, green, and black colors from the movie!
Ingredients For BeetleJuice Jello Poke Cake:
- 1 box (14.25 oz) White Cake Mix
- 3/4 Cup Water
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 4 Egg Whites
- 1 box (3 oz) Jell-O Grape Gelatin Dessert Mix
- 1 box (3 oz) Jell-O Lime Gelatin Dessert Mix
- 2 cups hot water
- 16 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

What is a Poke Cake?
A poke cake is a cake that has holes poked into it after it has been baked and cooled. Then pudding or liquid Jell-O is poured over the cooled cake into the poked holes. Then the cake is popped into the fridge for a few hours before being topped with whipped cream.

I’m probably the only person left who hasn’t seen Beetlejuice, but I still love the look of this cake! Very nice!
I just rewatched the first one a few days ago haha. I haven’t seen the new one.
The colors are fantastic and it’s been way too long since I’ve made poke cake!
I love poke cakes and this is perfect for Halloween.
I am saving this recipe for sure! We love Beetlejuice and this would be great for movie night.
What a delicious looking cake!! The colors and sprinkles are so fun and festive, too! I have never made a poke cake, but I might have to try this one. It looks too cute!
