Hey guys I'm Stephanie from Wilton! today
I'm going to show you how to make a
strawberry lemonade poke cake. Now poke cakes are not only easy but let's be
honest they're really fun because you
literally just poke holes all over the
cake, so if you like the recipe you see
today don't forget to subscribe to our
channel so you access all of our videos!
So let's do this! To make this recipe
super easy we are going to be using a
cake mix, but if you'd like you can also
use your favorite lemon cake recipe. So,
start by putting the mix in your mixer
we are going to use 1 cup of milk 1/2 a
cup of oil 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
Go ahead and mix that at medium speed
for about 2 minutes. Spray a 9 by 13 pan
with some Bake Easy then pour your
batter in. Alright, go ahead and smooth it
out. We are going to bake this in the
oven at 350 degrees for about 27 to 29
minutes.
To make the filling we are going to combine 8 ounces of fresh
strawberries which is about 2 cups, 2
tablespoons of lemon juice and 1/2 a cup
of fresh water in a saucepan and we're
going to cook it over medium heat for
about 10 minutes just until the
strawberries are soft. Once your
strawberries are done cooking go
ahead and put them in a food processor
and puree them. Alright now that that is
done go ahead and add 3 ounces of
strawberry gelatin mix just mix that all
together. So this is really my favorite
part because normally in cake decorating
you like to keep it all nice and pretty,
for this you don't have to do that, so
we're going to poke holes I'm using a
lollipop stick -  you could also use a
wooden skewer or fork.  We're going to
poke the holes about one inch apart. Once
you're done with that go ahead and take
your strawberry mixture and pour it all
over your cake. Now we're going to
refrigerate this for at least two hours
up to overnight. We're going to finish
our take off with some whipped cream, so,
we're going to combine one and a half
cups of heavy whipping cream and 2
tablespoons of confectioner sugar.
We're going to go ahead and
whip this until it soft peaks. So
once you have those soft peaks go ahead
and add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Now that this is done go ahead and cover
your cake with it. We are actually going to
serve the cake right out of the pan like
this and I actually as love serving
cakes right out of the cake pan because
not only is it less dishes, but there's
something just so wholesome about it. It
reminds me of when my mom made cakes
when I was little and we had them to
share with friends and family. Go
ahead and just do a nice layer of that
whipped cream. You could be done or we
could add some sprinkles and what's
better than sprinkles a sprinkle mix! So,
I have a mixture of a bunch of different
sprinkles here pink and yellow and some
sparkling sugars we're going to go ahead
and just cover the cake with that. This
strawberry lemonade cake is the perfect
recipe for your summer potluck or the
fourth of July! If you liked this video
