When it comes to cool and creamy treats, Key Lime Pie is king. And while this poke cake might not have the same cool and silky feel as the original, it does have the same irresistibly refreshing citrus flavor… but in poke cake form!
And if you’re not yet familiar with poke cake, it’s high time you become acquainted because the poke cake method is a unique one that allows creamy flavored filling to sink down into the crumb of the cake so each and every bite if full of yummy flavor.
Here’s the idea with a poke cake: You literally poke the cake all over with the end of a wooden spoon, almost all the way to the bottom but without poking all the way through. Then, you pour a filling over the top so it seeps down into those holes to flavor the cake.
In this case, that filling is a sweet whipped cream mixture flavored with key lime juice, so while it lends a creamy bite to the cake, it also has that refreshing citrus thing going on.
