This is a moist lemony cake. It is called a poke cake because you poke holes in it to absorb the glaze. If you want, you can serve this with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

2 egg whites
1 ⅓ cups water
2 tablespoons oil
1 quart cold milk
2 pkg. (4 serving size) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling

Steps:

Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on package for 13x9-inch baking pan, using the egg whites, water and oil. Remove from oven. Immediately poke holes down through cake to bottom of pan with round handle of wooden spoon. (Or, poke holes with a plastic drinking straw, using turning motion to make large holes.)

Let remaining pudding mixture stand until slightly thickened. Spoon over top of cake, swirling to "frost" cake.

Tips:

Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for this cake. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Let the cake cool completely before poking holes in it. This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling.
Use a fork or toothpick to poke holes in the cake. The holes should be about 1 inch apart.
Pour the lemon pudding mixture over the holes in the cake. Make sure to evenly distribute the pudding mixture.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the pudding mixture to set.

Lemon pudding poke cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
