Lemon Lime Poke Cake Recipe
Description
This Lemon Lime Poke Cake begins with a white cake mix enhanced by freshly grated lemon peel for added citrus flavor. After baking and cooling, the cake surface is poked with a fork to create holes, which are filled with lime gelatin dissolved in boiling water. Chilling the cake allows the gelatin to firm within the cake, adding moistness and a subtle lime tartness layered throughout.
The topping is made by whipping together Dream Whip, instant lemon pudding mix, and milk until thickened, creating a light lemon frosting. This is spread over the cake, followed by an additional layer of Cool Whip or whipped cream. Grated lemon and lime peel sprinkled on top accent the vibrant citrus notes.
The cake requires refrigeration after adding both the gelatin and the frosting to let the layers set properly. It's a refreshing dessert option with a balance of sweet and tart flavors and a creamy, tender crumb enhanced by the moist gelatin.
