cooking spray
1 (15.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix (such as Duncan Hines® Lemon Supreme)
2 ¼ cups water, divided
3 large eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon peel
3 eggs
1 container Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting

1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries and lemons.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Be careful not to over-mix the cake batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
Poke the holes in the cake deeply enough so that the lemonade mixture can soak in.
Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to meld.

Strawberry lemonade poke cake is a delicious and refreshing summer dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist cake, tangy lemonade filling, and sweet strawberry topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
