ST. PATRICK'S DAY LIME POKE CAKE RECIPE - (4.2/5)



St. Patrick's Day Lime Poke Cake Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (2-sticks) cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, well shaken
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (3-ounce) box lime gelatin
2 cups heavy cream, cold
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Green sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-X-13-inch pan. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk the buttermilk and vanilla in a spouted measuring cup; set aside. Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a stand mixer (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer) at medium speed until very light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer still running on medium, slowly add the eggs and beat until fully incorporated. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting; with the mixer running, add 1/3 of the flour mixture, then 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture, then 1/2 of the remaining flour mixture, then the remaining buttermilk mixture, then the remaining flour mixture. Scrape down the sides and beat until well mixed. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake, about 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Let cool for 30 minutes in the pan. Use a large fork to poke holes an inch apart in the top and all the way through the cake. Bring 1 cup water to a boil, pour over the gelatin in a medium bowl and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Pour the mixture evenly over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Put a large bowl (for whipping the cream) in the refrigerator. Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Whip the cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla in the chilled bowl until fluffy. Spread it over the cake and sprinkle the sanding sugar on top. Slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cake mix: For this recipe, a white or yellow cake mix will work best. You can also use a chocolate cake mix, but the green color will be less vibrant.
  • Use fresh limes: Fresh limes will give the cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the cake cool completely before poking it: If you poke the cake while it's still warm, the holes will be too big and the cake will be more likely to fall apart.
  • Use a toothpick or fork to poke the holes: A toothpick or fork will make small holes that will allow the lime juice to soak into the cake evenly.
  • Pour the lime juice mixture over the cake slowly: Pouring the lime juice mixture over the cake slowly will help it to soak in evenly.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours before serving: Refrigerating the cake for at least 4 hours will allow the lime juice to soak into the cake and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

This St. Patrick's Day Lime Poke Cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any celebration. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a bright and citrusy lime flavor. The whipped cream frosting is light and fluffy, and the green sprinkles add a festive touch. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
