Luscious Lemon Poke Cake

this cake was so easy to make, i made it a 13x9 inch pan and used strawberry jello, it was just the best cake i ever eaten, and the coolwhip on top, just made it even more delicious want to try the lemon pudding poke cake too, i bet its just as good, thank you for the great recipe, kathi

It is so special that I will make as for birthday cake also

It is such a light and refreshing dessert for after any dinner or lunch.

I made this recipe for a party I was invited to today. I was hesitant and skeptical, since I feared the cake would turn out a soggy mess. It was excellent, even though I made a mistake I won't repeat. I made the "fast-setting" jello recipe, and the gelatin poured over my 9" X 13" cake was thicker than it should have been and didn't penetrate deeply into the cake. It kinda' stayed on top and sides of the cake, and seeped only slightly into the poked holes. It was still delicious, moist and flavorful. Your recipe should be more clear to use the normal jello recipe. (I also used a yellow cake mix, and it was still strikingly pretty and tasty). Also, I wanted to liven up the Coolwhip so I added sprinkles to it just before serving. I was glad I waited, because the sprinkles just melted on the whipped topping, and would have looked unattractive had I sprinkled the decorations on earlier in the day.

I also have made this recipe for many years. For a little added taste try mixing coconut in the whip cream. That just adds a little different texture.

My family loved this and is so easy to make I tried othervariations such as raspberry jello and some fresh raspberries for garnish i have also tried strawberry and blackberry my favorite was the blackberry but my family loves them all

I remember my mom making this for us when we were young. She used different flavors for different occasions. My own kids love it too! Thanks for reprinting it, I haven't made it in a long time1

I change the recipe by saving some of the Jello, cooling it a little, and mixing it with the Cool Whip as a frosting. This gives it more of the Jello flavor.

I was glad to see the e-mail I recieved with this cake. I used to make it with my Mom. I was worried when I saw this recipe because my Mom always made this in a 9x11 pan & I was worried that I remembered incorrectly. As soon as I got to the rating page I glad to see that a lot of other people make it that way. My Mom has been gone for 16 yrs so it will feel good to"bake with her again"

quick easy and delicious!
