Description
A delightful Lemon Raspberry Poke Cake that combines zesty lemon flavor with sweet-tart raspberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of lemon cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 container of whipped topping (8 oz)
- 2 tablespoons of freshly grated lemon zest
- Extra fresh raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Once the cake is cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
- In a small bowl, mash the fresh raspberries with a fork. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice until combined. Drizzle this raspberry mixture over the poked holes in the cake.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes and seeps into the cake. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the freshly grated lemon zest over the whipped topping and decorate with additional fresh raspberries.
