Description

The Lime Jello Poke Cake is a vibrant and moist dessert infused with tangy lime flavor, thanks to lime gelatin poured over poked holes in the cake. Topped with whipped cream or frosting, it’s a refreshing end to any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box white cake mix (and required ingredients: eggs, oil, water)
  • 1 package (3 oz) lime gelatin mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping or homemade whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare and bake the cake according to package instructions in a 9×13 inch pan.
  2. Once baked and slightly cooled, poke holes throughout the cake using the back of a wooden spoon.
  3. Dissolve lime gelatin in boiling water, add cold water, and pour over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
  4. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours to set the gelatin.
  5. Frost with whipped topping before serving. Garnish with lime slices or zest for extra flair.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use a sugar-free cake mix and low-fat whipped topping.
  • Enhance the cake by adding a layer of lime curd under the whipped topping.
