Lemon-Pineapple Poke Cake
I wish I could say that I was a patient person but I am not. I am especially impatient in the kitchen. My husband teases me about not letting anyone in “my kitchen”. I don’t really mean to be this way, but I know it’s true.
A few days ago Emmet wanted to make mini pizzas. I helped him flatten out canned biscuit dough and he added the sauce, some pepperoni and the cheese.
When we put it in the oven I decided to bake a cake. This idea for a Lemon Pineapple Poke Cake had been rolling around in my head for a while.
Emmet asked if he could help with the cake and I reluctantly said yes. I added the cake mix and the other ingredients to the mixer bowl.
Emmet was excited and tried to turn on the mixer, but instead he just locked the head. I then realized that the mixer was not plugged in and as I reached to plug it in, Emmet turned the mixer on high.
Wham-mo! Cake batter went everywhere. All over me, in my flip flops, all over everything on the counter, the wall, the cabinets, the floor. Holy mess.
I told Emmet to go change clothes and cleaned up the mess. I was so aggravated. I should not be so impatient but I am. Emmet was so sorry for ruining the cake.
I told him the cake didn’t matter but the mess, oh the mess. This is the kind of thing that is funny after the mess is gone.
I was still determined to bake this cake. I continued to bake, this time by myself. The cake turned out fabulous and now we have a good story to tell!
There’s something about a chilled cake, it just tastes so good. I totally loved the combination of lemon and pineapple.
This Lemon Pineapple Poke Cake is super simple and the perfect make ahead dessert for entertaining. It’s not overly rich but totally satisfying.
The whole family loved this one, it is a keeper! Try it out for your next picnic, party or barbecue!
