Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract or fresh lemon juice
3.4 ounce box Instant Lemon Pudding
2 cups cold milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract or fresh lemon juice
Fresh lemon wedges (, for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs and lemon extract or fresh lemon juice. Mix until just combined. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until cake passes the toothpick test.
  • Remove cake from the oven and poke with the end of a wooden spoon or a straw while still hot. Make many holes. The more holes, the more space for the delicious pudding to hide.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile whisk together instant lemon pudding mix with milk. It will be liquidy, but will start to thicken as you whisk. It will take about 2 minutes. When you start to feel resistance allow to stand for 1 minute. Don't wait until it sets too long or it will be too thick to sink down into your holes.
  • Pour pudding mix over cake, patting down into the holes. Use a toothpick and prick more holes into the cake and pudding. Tap the whole dish several times to allow the pudding to settle into the cake.
  • Chill for a minimum of 30 minutes, but wait to frost until cake is cooled or else the frosting will melt.
  • When ready to frost, prepare whipped lemon frosting whip cream in a large bowl until it starts to stiffen. Add powdered sugar.
  • Fold in lemon extract or fresh lemon juice.
  • Cover and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3-ounce) package lemon gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup canola oil
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 large eggs
1 (15.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix (Grandma says Duncan Hines)
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 2 medium lemons)
Fresh berries
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray.
  • Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. (I measured the water into a large measuring cup, then stirred the gelatin right in. You could also do this in a heatproof bowl.) Let cool to room temperature.
  • In a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the oil, applesauce, and eggs until combined. Beat in the cooled gelatin. Reduce the speed to low, then slowly add in the cake mix, stopping as soon as the dry ingredients disappear.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top springs back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
  • While the cake bakes, in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  • While the cake is still warm, use the tines of a fork to poke holes all over the top. Pour the glaze slowly and evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down into the holes. Let cool to room temperature. Enjoy warm or hot with plenty of fresh berries and whipped cream.

LEMON POKE CAKE II

This is a moist lemony cake. It is called a poke cake because you poke holes in it to absorb the glaze. If you want, you can serve this with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

Tips:

  • Use a toothpick or skewer to poke holes in the cake. This will help the glaze soak in and create a moist, flavorful cake.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest instead of bottled or concentrated lemon juice.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the glaze, you can use either powdered sugar or granulated sugar. If you use granulated sugar, you may need to add a little more lemon juice to get the right consistency.
  • If you're not a fan of lemon, you can use other citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, or limes, to make the glaze.
  • You can decorate the cake with fresh lemon slices, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Lemon poke cake is a classic dessert that is both easy to make and delicious. With its moist, flavorful cake and tangy lemon glaze, it's a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you're serving it at a party or simply enjoying it as a snack, this cake is sure to be a hit.
