Lemon Poke Cake

I must have a thing for lemon....tonight for FHE I decided to try this Lemon Poke Cake. It's really moist and yummy and you keep it in the fridge, so it's also cool and refreshing. The family loved it, so here it is. I posted the recipe as it was written, but I, personally, am NOT a fan of cool whip, so I used the real stuff...whipping cream. I also used two boxes of lemon pudding, as I wanted a thicker "frosting". Next time though, I think I will just try one. Ingredients:
1 white cake mix
2 (3oz.) boxes of jello
2 cups boiling water
1 (3oz.) pkg. of lemon pudding
1 cup milk
1 (12 oz.) container cool whip

Bake the cake in two round cake pans, according to box directions. Allow to cool. Poke holes in the cake. Bring 2 cups water to a boil and dissolve the two boxes of jello. Pour the jello directly into the poked holes. Let chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Afterwards, dip the bottoms of the pans in hot water in your sink, to loosen the jello and unmold.

For the frosting, mix pudding with 1 cup cold milk. Fold in cool whip. Use it to frost you cake in between the two layers and on the top and sides. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Chocolate Lover's Bundt Cake

Liz....this is just for you! Hope you enjoy!


I brought this bundt cake to Warren's christmas party this past year and Liz, his co-worker has asked for the recipe ever since. She reminded Warren yesterday that she STILL wanted the recipe. So, I made it for her tonight. Here it is....WITH the recipe! Enjoy! It's super moist and rich. Pure heaven to a chocolate lover! I should know....I AM one! Ingredients:
1 box devils food cake mix
1 small box chocolate instant pudding
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Spray and flour a bundt pan. Pour in the batter and bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan and then flip the cake out of the pan. Drizzle the chocolate sauce on top and serve. Keep in the fridge. It keeps it really moist and I swear it's even yummier the second day!

Chocolate Sauce:
2/3 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips (I use LINDT Milk chocolate)
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Warm the whipping cream and slowly melt the chocolate on low heat. Let cool slightly before drizzling over the cake.
