Lemon Poke Cake


  • Author: Chef Emy

Description

A moist and tangy lemon cake soaked with sweet lemon syrup, topped with fluffy whipped cream.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, eggs, oil, and water until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. While the cake bakes, combine sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Heat over low until sugar dissolves, then set aside.
  4. Once the cake is done, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface. Pour the lemon syrup evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  5. Let the cake cool completely, then spread whipped cream over the top. Garnish with lemon zest if desired.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
