How to Make Lemon Poke Cake in an Oven
Aunt Lou here.
The first poke cake I can remember having as a child was a Big Red Poke Cake. A family friend, Bear (His real name is Greg, but I didn’t know that until I was in my mid 20s!), brought one to a get together my family attended. I remember thinking it was the most amazing cake ever.
As an adult, I have grown to really love lemon desserts and made a crock pot version of this amazing cake. I know our readers love having multiple ways to create our recipes. So when Cris suggested I do the oven version of this Lemon Poke Cake, I was all for it! It is so yummy!
This is a perfect treat for your family at home or to take to a get together to share with friends or family. My 6 and 8 year old love it just as much as I do!
