Now that spring is around the corner, I figured that another citrus dessert would be in order and this Lemon Poke Cake packs a triple punch of lemon flavor.
My inspiration for this cake is my great aunt Janet Berg. My dad was such a big fan of her cake, and I remember making it for him from her recipe.
I decided to make it into a mug cake. Our followers sure seem to love the ease and portion control of this method!
Lemon Mug cake: The base for the poke cake. Filled with delicious lemon zest and juice. Tart and refreshing.
Sugar-free Lemon Jell-O: soaks into the poke cake to intensify the flavor. You can use plain gelatin if you prefer. Gelatin is known for adding moisture and flavor to cakes.
Whipped cream: Adds a light, fluffy texture as the topping. I used ready made for ease and convenience, but feel free to make homemade.
Lemon slice : For garnish ;optional but pretty! and after zesting and juicing you will have it left to use.
