ST. PATRICK'S DAY LIME POKE CAKE RECIPE - (4.2/5)



St. Patrick's Day Lime Poke Cake Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (2-sticks) cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, well shaken
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (3-ounce) box lime gelatin
2 cups heavy cream, cold
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Green sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-X-13-inch pan. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk the buttermilk and vanilla in a spouted measuring cup; set aside. Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a stand mixer (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer) at medium speed until very light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer still running on medium, slowly add the eggs and beat until fully incorporated. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting; with the mixer running, add 1/3 of the flour mixture, then 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture, then 1/2 of the remaining flour mixture, then the remaining buttermilk mixture, then the remaining flour mixture. Scrape down the sides and beat until well mixed. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake, about 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Let cool for 30 minutes in the pan. Use a large fork to poke holes an inch apart in the top and all the way through the cake. Bring 1 cup water to a boil, pour over the gelatin in a medium bowl and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Pour the mixture evenly over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Put a large bowl (for whipping the cream) in the refrigerator. Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Whip the cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla in the chilled bowl until fluffy. Spread it over the cake and sprinkle the sanding sugar on top. Slice and serve.

Time 5h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
1 cup water
3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 (3 ounce) package lime-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
1 cup boiling water
¼ cup key lime juice, or more to taste
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup lime juice, or more to taste
4 teaspoons lime zest, or to taste
½ teaspoon cornstarch
¼ cup butter
2 drops green food coloring
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 24 to 29 minutes.
  • Dissolve gelatin mix in boiling water. Add key lime juice and mix well.
  • Use a fork to poke holes all over the cake. Spoon gelatin-key lime mixture all over cake. Refrigerate until completely cool and ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, whisk eggs and egg yolks together in a large glass bowl. Combine sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and cornstarch in a smaller heat-proof bowl.
  • Place bowl with the sugar mixture over a pot of simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until mixture comes to boil, about 5 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk hot sugar mixture, little by little, into the beaten eggs. Place bowl over the pot of simmering water and whisk until curd coats the back of a spoon, up to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in butter until melted.
  • Drop food coloring into the curd and mix to achieve your desired shade. Let cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Cover surface directly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely cool, about 2 hours.
  • Transfer 3/4 of the curd into another bowl. Add whipped topping and fold together until well combined. Spread frosting over the cake. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours more. Top with the plain curd.

We make this beloved dessert with not-too-sweet buttermilk cake and very lightly sweetened whipped cream. The cake tastes best just lightly chilled, so let it warm up a bit while you whip the cream for the topping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes. Fresh limes will give your cake the best flavor. If you can't find fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in the refrigerator. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This lime poke cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any other occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the lime frosting is the perfect finishing touch. With its bright green color and zesty flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
