Are you a lemon fan?  

This fantastic Lemon Burst Poke Cake is very light, tangy and refreshing. Are you hooked yet?  I was after I took my first bite, which turned into 2 pieces, and had to literally s t o p myself before I ate the whole cake! 

Luckily I had family partners-in-crime to help assist me!  

Lemon Burst Poke Cake

Lemon flavor is bursting through the cake because I used both Lemon Curd & lemon pudding.  

Top it with some Cool Whip.  The whipped cream adds more lightness to the cake and it is SO luscious.  I’ve also done it where I’ve taken 2 cups of whipping cream with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and a tablespoon of vanilla extract and whipped it to a creamy whipped topping.  Yum!! (that’s my favorite!)

Lemon Burst Poke Cake

 You can use my home-made recipe of Lemon Curd or buy it in the store. 

The curd is totally worth making.  I might add, even make it ahead of time!  It’s super, super easy to make.  It can be used in so many recipes and it’s absolutely yummy, tart and refreshing!  Stock up on it for summer. 🙂

Lemon Burst Poke Cake

This Lemon Burst Poke Cake is great for any BBQ, Potluck, Special Event and it reminds of sunshine and summer time.   Summer is here! Here’s the recipe! Enjoy! xoxo
