Strawberry Lemonade Poke Cake
I have another easy dessert recipe to share with you! I am always the one that brings dessert to birthday parties or family get-to-gethers which is fun but I hate bringing the same thing all the time.
My family is all about Chocolate! But some of us aren’t so I decided to try something different. Jude adores Lemon Desserts so I went with a Lemon Cake and poked a little Strawberry Lemonade into it! 😉 I hope you can share this with your family and friends too! It was a hit at our party! The cake was so cool and yummy plus very moist…perfect for a HOT Colorado day.
Ingredients:
1-box of Lemon Cake (all ingredients to prepare cake as it says on the box)
1-small box of strawberry Jell-O
1 cup of lemonade
1 cup of water
1 container of Cool-Whip
2 cups of sliced strawberries (fresh or frozen)

2. Once the cake is cooled completely you will
need to poke holes throughout the cake.
I used a large serving fork to do this.
Make sure you get to the bottom of the cake pan!

3. Prepare the Strawberry Jell-O using 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of Lemonade. Stir well!
4. Pour the Strawberry Jell-O and
Lemonade carefully over the entire cake.
Make sure all the “holes” are filled!
5. Chill cake overnight. This allows the Jell-O to set.
6. When ready to serve prepare the “frosting” by
pureeing 1 ½ cups of sliced strawberries.
I used our Magic Bullet. Add the
Strawberry puree to the Cool Whip creating a nice strawberry Cool Whip
frosting.

This looks delicious!
That looks amazing!! Pinning it!
You know, I had never heard of poke cake until just recently. This looks scrumptious…
This does look delicious and reminds me of something my mom used to make. I will give this a try in the next week or so.
This looks ridiculously yummy. I am going to pin it to remember it.
This looks so good. I don't have a cake mix, so I am going to try and make this with a homemade lemon cake and homemade strawberry jello…
