Strawberry Lemonade Poke Cake: 1st Bite of Joy

Description

A delightful and refreshing poke cake featuring the classic combination of strawberry and lemonade.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) lemon cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 tub (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13×9 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions using oil, eggs, and 1 1/4 cups water. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  4. While the cake is cooling, dissolve gelatin in boiling water in a medium bowl. Stir in cold water.
  5. Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork, poke holes all over the top of the warm cake, about 1 inch apart.
  6. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the poked cake.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set.
  8. Spread thawed whipped topping over the chilled cake.
  9. Arrange sliced fresh strawberries on top.
  10. Keep cake refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a more intense lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the cake batter.
  • You can substitute fresh whipped cream for the frozen whipped topping.
  • Other berries like raspberries or blueberries can be used instead of strawberries.
