This lemon poke cake is perfectly refreshing. Its filled with lemon curd and topped with creamy whipped cream for the perfect spring or summer dessert!
Oh my gosh, you guys, if you love lemon like I do then you will love this easy and delicious cake. This lemon poke cake starts with a cake mix for the cake base, its poked and filled with lemon curd. You can use homemade or you can buy a jar from the store. And then its covered all over with whipped cream to sweeten up the tanginess of the lemon curd.
I used a homemade lemon curd recipe which was just perfect. I used just one batch of this recipe, because its easy, made in the microwave and super lemony and delicious. The recipe makes about 2 cups worth of lemon curd which was the perfect amount for my cake, you can use anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 cups, depending how moist you want your cake to be.
Basically this cake tastes a little bit like lemon meringue pie, with the flavor of the lemon curd goodness bursting throughout. Yeah, its really good.
This cake is refreshing, and creamy, and tangy, and decadent. It feels like its a fancy dessert without the difficulty of one.
This cake is perfect for spring or summer time! I wish I could dig into a slice again, right now!
