Delicious Lemon Poke Cake

Lemon anything is absolutely amazing! This delicious lemon poke cake recipe comes from Dawn, one of my co-workers (a wonderful and compassionate RN). This lemon cake recipe has been in her family for a long time. It’s super easy to make and won’t take very long before you will be enjoying some delicious lemon poke cake.

Delicious Lemon Poke Cake

One late evening Dawn and I were at the office after everyone had left (we are hospice RNs), and started discussing food, cooking, baking, and all of our favorite recipes. Dawn told me about this lemon cake recipe and I instantly wanted to make it because… anything lemon is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! Usually I make cakes from scratch, but today I decided to make Dawn’s Favorite Lemon Cake recipe, with the addition of some lemon buttercream frosting, which is totally optional. This cake does not need any frosting, it’s that good!!! But those who know me well, know that I am addicted to buttercream frosting!

A Refreshing dessert

This delicious lemon poke cake is super moist and packed so full of flavor, lemony flavor! Oh yum, so good! With the addition of the lemon buttercream frosting, this cake is even more deliciously sweet! Did I say sweet? Oh yes, I did! This cake is a very sweet treat!
