Description

A refreshing citrus poke cake made with lemon and lime flavors using non alcoholic margarita mix, creamy condensed milk filling, and fluffy whipped topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box butter or white cake mix
  • Non alcoholic margarita mix
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 container whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup margarita mix
  • 1/4 cup margarita mix
  • Fresh lime slices for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon zest for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bake the cake according to the package directions but replace the water with non alcoholic margarita mix.
  2. Allow the cake to cool slightly while still warm then poke holes all over using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  3. Mix half a can of sweetened condensed milk with 1/2 cup margarita mix and pour evenly over the cake filling the holes.
  4. In another bowl mix the whipped topping, remaining sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup margarita mix then refrigerate for about 2 hours.
  5. Spread the chilled topping over the cake and garnish with lime slices and lemon zest before serving.

Notes

  1. Poke the holes while the cake is still warm so the filling absorbs better.
  2. Refrigerate the topping mixture so it firms before spreading.
  3. The cake tastes even better after chilling several hours or overnight.
