Tips:
- Choose the right lemons. Meyer lemons are the traditional choice for lemonade poke cake, but any type of lemon can be used. If using regular lemons, you may need to add more sugar to the lemonade mixture.
- Make sure the cake is completely cool before poking it. If the cake is still warm, the lemonade mixture will soak in too quickly and make the cake soggy.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to poke the holes in the cake. This will help the lemonade mixture to soak in evenly.
- Don't over-poke the cake. You only need to poke it enough to create small holes for the lemonade mixture to soak in.
- Let the cake soak in the lemonade mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will give the cake time to absorb the flavor of the lemonade.
- Serve the cake chilled. This will help to keep the cake moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Lemonade poke cake is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its bright citrus flavor and moist, fluffy texture, it's the perfect cake for any occasion. Whether you're serving it at a picnic, a potluck, or just a casual get-together, lemonade poke cake is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
