Ingredients

Cake Batter

Pudding Mixture

Whipped Cream Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Batter and Bake

  • Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer for about 3 minutes or until smooth.
  • Add the eggs, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla to the mixing bowl. Mix in the wet ingredients on low speed until well combined with the dry ingredients.
  • Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda and continue to beat on low speed until the dry ingredients are well combined. About 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour your batter into the baking dish and bake for 45 minutes.

Lemon Poke Filling

  • Beat the lemon pudding mix with 4 cups of milk in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Remove the cake from the oven, and while the cake is still warm, use the back handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout the cake.
  • Pour the pudding over the warm cake. Use a spatula to spread the pudding evenly across the baking dish.
  • Transfer the cake to the fridge to cool for 30 minutes.

Whipped Cream Topping

  • While the cake is cooling, whip the cream and powdered sugar for about 4 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Top your cake with the whipped cream.
