Lemon lovers will request this sweet and tangy poke cake again and again.

Provided by Baker's

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     JELL-O

Time 1h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package (2-layer size) white cake mix
2 egg whites
1 ⅓ cups water
2 tablespoons oil
1 quart cold milk
2 pkg. (4 serving size) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling

Steps:

  • Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on package for 13x9-inch baking pan, using the egg whites, water and oil. Remove from oven. Immediately poke holes down through cake to bottom of pan with round handle of wooden spoon. (Or, poke holes with a plastic drinking straw, using turning motion to make large holes.) Holes should be at 1-inch intervals.
  • Pour milk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes. Immediately pour about half of the thin pudding mixture evenly over warm cake and into holes to make stripes. Let remaining pudding mixture stand until slightly thickened. Spoon over top of cake, swirling to "frost" cake.
  • Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Cut into 24 squares. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the cake to mix together smoothly and evenly.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly and doesn't sink in the middle.
  • Don't overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have time to make the pudding from scratch, you can use a pre-made pudding mix.
  • Feel free to experiment with different flavors of pudding and cake mix. You could use chocolate pudding and devil's food cake mix, or vanilla pudding and yellow cake mix.

Conclusion:

This Jello Lemon Pudding Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
