    Lime Poke Cake is a simple but stunning dessert! White cake, drenched in lime Jell-O and topped with fluffy whipped topping and lime slices, this easy lime cake is a stunner!

    Surprise ... it's another poke cake! Guys, this poke cake train has left the station and there is no telling when it will stop! Poke cakes are easy. They are a crowd pleaser. And there are so many creative ways to make them. Use pudding or use Jell-O. Change up the flavor of the cake. Switch up the frosting. Make cupcakes instead of a cake. See? Poke cakes for the win!

    Lime Poke Cake

    Lime Poke Cake is easy, flavorful and gorgeous! Just look at that lime Jell-O soaked white cake with whipped topping and bright green lime slices!

    Soft white cake is drenched in bright, tangy lime jell-o and topped with fluffy whipped topping. That's it. If you want to wow your family and friends, add sprinkles and some pretty little lime slices. If not, the cake is delicious without them. This dessert really couldn't get much easier.

    Once your 9x13 white cake is baked, poke holes all over the surface of the cake and drench the cake in lime Jell-o. I know it looks a little sad in this step, but the Jell-o will soak into the cake, keeping it moist and flavorful.

    How to make a Lime Poke Cake - the first step is to poke holes all over a cooled white cake and drench it in lime Jell-o.

    After the cake has been refrigerated for a few hours or even overnight, spread whipped topping over the cake and add lime green sprinkles. Instant pretty 🙂

    You can serve it at this step and everyone will love it, trust me. But if you have a minute and a few limes, top the cake with bright green lime slices for a beautiful presentation!

    Simple and stunning, this Lime Poke Cake is topped with bright green lime slices!

    Just wait until you cut generous slices of this Lime Poke Cake ... I love the bright green pops of lime against the soft white cake. Jell-o poke cakes make for such a pretty presentation, don't they?

    Lime Poke Cake is simple and stunning! The cake is moist and drenched in tangy lime Jell-o then topped with fluffy whipped topping and lime slices - YUM!

    Don't tell lemon, but lime has sort of stolen my heart lately. And this Lime Poke Cake just might be the reason why! Citrus just screams Spring to me, so maybe this bright citrusy dessert will be just the thing to welcome Spring once and for all!

    Lime Poke Cake is a new family favorite! The combo of sweet white cake, tangy lime Jell-O and fluffy whipped topping is a crowd pleaser!
