Twisted Lemon Poke Cake

A citrusy cake built on a boxed yellow mix with a tangy homemade filling that wedges deep into the crumb. Instead of vanilla pudding powder, use lemon gelatin mix to sharpen the zing. Swap vegetable oil for melted coconut oil to add a subtle nutty undertone. Eggs slightly beaten with water combine wet and dry. Poke holes as soon as the cake cools off enough to handle, but still warm. The filling seeps in better, no dry pockets. The final whipped lemon glaze thickens slowly in fridge while flavors punch up. Chill time varies with fridge; should feel set not sticky.
