Raspberry-Lemonade Cake

Raspberry-Lemonade Cake

Betty Crocker created the poke cake, a cake that's poked after baking so the topping forms pockets of wonderfulness. Try this delicious citrus-berry combo.

1

1
box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix
1/2
cup frozen (thawed) lemonade concentrate
1/4

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour. In small bowl, mix hot water and gelatin until gelatin is completely dissolved; cool slightly.
  • 2 In large bowl, beat cake mix, 1/4 cup of the gelatin mixture, 1/4 cup of the lemonade concentrate, the water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pan. Reserve remaining gelatin mixture and lemonade concentrate.
  • 3 Bake 25 to 31 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Poke warm cake every inch with fork tines. Remove 1 tablespoon of the reserved gelatin mixture to microwavable custard cup or small bowl. In another small bowl, mix remaining gelatin mixture and remaining 1/4 cup lemonade concentrate; pour slowly over cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • 4 In medium bowl, fold together frosting and whipped topping; frost cake. Microwave 1 tablespoon gelatin mixture uncovered on High 10 seconds to liquefy. Using 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon, place small drops of gelatin mixture over frosting; with spoon or toothpick, swirl gelatin into frosting. Garnish each piece with raspberries and lemon peel strips. Store covered in refrigerator.

Expert Tips

    Loved this recipe! I made it twice in one week, one for my husband's co-workers and one for mine. Everyone loved it! The only change I made was I used fat free cool whip instead of the regular which was a perfect amount of sweet with the cake. I noticed someone said the frosting was too sweet with they made it, try using the fat free.

    This cake is pretty good. It is definitely better the next day after a night in the refrigerator. I didn't consider it much worth eating right after frosting it. I've tasted a better recipe of the same general concept that I think included some orange and pineapple. I'm going to hunt that down for next time.

    I love this cake I have made it many times. My husband always wants me to make it. I just make it with strawberry jello and top it with strawberries instead of raspberries when strawberries are cheaper.
