The recipe is pretty straightforward. Just rip open a box of lemon cake mix and add it into a bowl. Add in the eggs, butter, and milk and beat together until smooth and combined. Pour the prepared batter into a cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Once baked, poke holes all around the cake. Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and crushed pineapple with its juice and pour over the warm cake. Refrigerate until chilled, then top with a whipped topping. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if you wish. Serve cold and enjoy!
To make the Lemon-Pineapple Poke Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease a 9×13-inch cake pan.
To a large bowl, add 1 box lemon cake mix, 3 extra-large eggs, ⅓ cup melted butter, and 1 cup milk. Using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients at low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat for another 2 minutes until smooth.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is still in the pan, use the end of a wooden spoon or a chopstick to poke holes about 1 inch apart all over the cake.
To a medium bowl, add 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1 can crushed pineapple along with its juice and mix to combine.
Pour the prepared mixture over the warm cake.
Cover and transfer to a fridge for 2 hours or until chilled.
Top the chilled cake with whipped topping.
Cut the cake into slices and serve garnished with lemon and mint if you wish.
