It’s the “filling” that makes this poke cake special and so intensely lemony.

Lemon Pudding Intensified

With a few simple additions, instant lemon pudding can become fabulous!

Cream cheese and half-and-half cream make it creamy and frozen lemonade concentrate brings it all together.

After it sits chilling for an hour or two, the flavor infuses throughout the entire cake.

A Freezer Staple

Ever since I made these delicious Lemonade Squares that I found on Terri’s site, Great Grub Delicious Treats, I make sure to keep at least one can of frozen lemonade concentrate in my freezer.

I do this not only so I  can make that delicious dessert I mentioned, but also if want a pitcher of refreshing lemonade (when I don’t have real lemons in the fridge). I’ve also discovered that lemonade concentrate has other uses.

I’ve marinated chicken in it and have even made salad dressing using it.

The concentrate is relatively inexpensive and it doesn’t take up too much room in the freezer either.

    Hi Judith:
    This cake appeals to me, especially since we love refreshing desserts made with lemons. What size cake mix did you use in this recipe, since recently ….all cake mixes have been reduced in size. Also, I’ll use Neufrachel Cheese instead of (full fat) Cream Cheese, and (light) “Cool Whip” to finish it off. Hopefully, my very minor adjustments will work well in this recipe.

      Hi Angela–I noticed about the sizes, but it’s a 2-layer size. I used Duncan Hines’ lemon supreme. I’ve also taken to making sheet cakes in a 11 x 7-inch pan instead of a 13 x 9-inch. The latter seems a bit skimpy now–probably because there’s less mix–but it produces a higher cake and won’t overrun the sides either. Neufchatel works and to be honest, I cannot tell the difference between that and regular cream cheese. One thing is, the pudding mix may look a bit curdled, but it won’t affect the cake and it’s the way it’s supposed to look.

        Hello Judith. Thanks for your reply. Yes, it’s definitely a good idea to use a smaller cake pan, since the cake mixes are now considerably smaller in size. Since we love desserts made with lemon, I’ll be making this cake very soon. Thank you again.
