Lemon Poke Cake

Don't mid that it is COVERED in sprinkles, because the cake is delicious. Preston loves sprinkles, so for his birthday, I decorated this cake with only him in mind. He was ecstatic! I aimed to make a cake that, once the inch deep layer of sprinkles were scraped off, was still pleasing to the adults. You can't go wrong with lemon desserts in the summer!


Lemon Cake with Creamy Lemon Frosting
1 package lemon cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package lemon flavored Jell-O
1 cup boiling water
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (3 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk

Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan. Poke holes in cake while still hot with the round handle of a wooden spoon. (I had to assure my husband that I wasn't ruining it) Make gelatin with only 1 cup of boiling water. Pour liquid gelatin over cake while hot. (I had to assure my husband that it wouldn't be soggy. He remained unconvinced.) Cool cake completely.

Beat together whipped topping, pudding mix, milk and vanilla extract. Ice cake once it is completely cooled. Refrigerate until ready to serve!

*My cake-pessimistic husband loved this cake, even with the sprinkles. And said "you have to make this again."
