LEMON POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs and lemon extract or fresh lemon juice. Mix until just combined. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until cake passes the toothpick test.
• Remove cake from the oven and poke with the end of a wooden spoon or a straw while still hot. Make many holes. The more holes, the more space for the delicious pudding to hide.
• Allow the cake to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile whisk together instant lemon pudding mix with milk. It will be liquidy, but will start to thicken as you whisk. It will take about 2 minutes. When you start to feel resistance allow to stand for 1 minute. Don't wait until it sets too long or it will be too thick to sink down into your holes.
• Pour pudding mix over cake, patting down into the holes. Use a toothpick and prick more holes into the cake and pudding. Tap the whole dish several times to allow the pudding to settle into the cake.
• Chill for a minimum of 30 minutes, but wait to frost until cake is cooled or else the frosting will melt.
• When ready to frost, prepare whipped lemon frosting whip cream in a large bowl until it starts to stiffen. Add powdered sugar.
• Fold in lemon extract or fresh lemon juice.
• Cover and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

LEMON POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray.
• Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. (I measured the water into a large measuring cup, then stirred the gelatin right in. You could also do this in a heatproof bowl.) Let cool to room temperature.
• In a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the oil, applesauce, and eggs until combined. Beat in the cooled gelatin. Reduce the speed to low, then slowly add in the cake mix, stopping as soon as the dry ingredients disappear.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top springs back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
• While the cake bakes, in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
• While the cake is still warm, use the tines of a fork to poke holes all over the top. Pour the glaze slowly and evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down into the holes. Let cool to room temperature. Enjoy warm or hot with plenty of fresh berries and whipped cream.
