Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Be sure to let the cake cool completely before poking holes in it. If the cake is still warm, the holes will be too big and the glaze will seep out.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to poke holes in the cake. A fork will make the holes too big.
- Pour the glaze over the cake slowly, allowing it to soak into the holes. If you pour the glaze on too quickly, it will run off the cake.
- Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the glaze to set and the cake to firm up.
Conclusion:
This lemonade poke cake is a delicious and refreshing summer dessert. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. If you like a sweeter cake, you can add more sugar to the glaze. If you like a more tart cake, you can use more lemon juice. You can also add other flavors to the cake, such as berries, citrus zest, or even a splash of vanilla extract.
