Directions
Lemony Cherry or Berry Poke Cake,Created for RSC #12. This cake ended up being one of the best cakes I’ve ever had! It isn’t quite a cake and isn’t quite a cheesecake but a mixture of the two. When you bite into it you experience a velvety firm texture, lemony cheesecake flavor and fruit that pops in your mouth. If you enjoy fruity lemony desserts you’ll love this! used cherries in this but if you prefer blueberries they should be great in it also. When the contest is over I can imagine using any fruit. *I’ve tried since making a strawberry version and it was too wet. I’ve also tried regular cake mix and cream cheese and it was wet also so I guess subbing ingredients changes the texture.,I liked the flavor of this cake, but it did turn out quite soggy. I wonder if it would be better to allow the cake and the jello to cool a bit more before pouring the jello over the cake. Also, this cake does not keep very long. I’d recommend using it all the day you make it or the day after. The texture just didn’t seem to hold up. used blueberries and love the lemon blueberry combination. Made for PRMR. Thanks for posting.,Delicious cake! My grocery store didn’t have the reduced sugar cake mix or the sugarfree jello, so I just used the regular cake mix and jello. I did have to cook it about 15 minutes longer than the recipe states because it still looked uncooked in the center after 40 minutes.
