Key Lime Poke Cake
This cake is not only visually appealing but also incredibly easy to make. The combination of the soft cake soaked in a zesty lime filling topped with whipped cream makes it a showstopper. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- Ingredients required for cake mix (usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup of key lime juice
- 1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping
- Zest of 2 limes
- Additional lime slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely in the pan.
- Once the cake has cooled, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface, about an inch apart. This will allow the delicious lime mixture to soak into the cake.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and key lime juice. Stir until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it gets into the holes.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to let the flavors meld.
- Before serving, spread the whipped topping over the chilled cake and sprinkle the lime zest on top for an extra zing. You can also decorate with lime slices for an appealing garnish.
