Strawberry Lemonade Poke Cake combines two great flavors for one delicious Spring/Summer dessert. Not only is it delicious, the strawberry gelatin gives it a gorgeous color.

This easy poke cake features a lemon-flavored cake, a strawberry gelatin filling, and a cream cheese/whipped cream frosting. So delicious all together.

3 Easy Steps

Make the cake. Using a box of lemon cake mix makes this step super easy. Fresh lemon juice and lemon zest get added for extra lemon flavor.

Make the strawberry gelatin filling. Poke holes in the cake and slowly pour the gelatin into the holes. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Make the frosting. The frosting is a cream cheese/whipped cream frosting that is completely decadent. It forms a thick layer on top of the cake.
As a finishing touch, top with fresh strawberries.

Great Make-Ahead Dessert

This cake can be made a day or even two days in advance. It makes a cool and creamy dessert for a warm day.

How Do You Poke The Holes"

The end of a wooden spoon is the perfect size for poking the holes. A skewer or a fork is too small. Poke a hole about every inch to 1 1/2 inches.
