MYO Strawberry-Lime Daiquiri Poke Cake – this one is for the Adults!

Strawberry-Lime Daiquiri Poke Cake

You’ll Need:
1 white cake mix
2 tablespoons grated lime peel (prepared the cake as directed on the box, but add the lime zest!) (or in the homemade recipe)

1 cup water
2/3 cup light rum
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
2 boxes (4-serving size each) strawberry- or strawberry Daiquiri-flavored gelatin
2 1/2 cups vanilla frosting (from 2 containers)

Strawberries and lime slices, if desired

Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for two 8-inch round pans, adding grated lime peel to batter. Remove from pan to cooling rack; cool completely, about 1 hour. Wash and dry cake pans.

2 Return cooled cake layers to clean 8-inch round pans. With thin stirring straw, toothpick or skewer, pierce cakes at 1/2-inch intervals.

3 In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup water to boiling. Remove from heat; stir in rum, lime juice, and gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved. Spoon half of the gelatin mixture over each cake. Refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours to allow the gelatin to set in cakes.

4 To remove cakes from pans, dip pans in warm water 10 seconds. Unmold 1 cake onto serving platter; spread about 1 cup frosting on top of cake. Unmold second cake; carefully place on first cake on platter.

5 Frost side and top of cake with remaining frosting. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving. Garnish with strawberries and lime. Loosely cover and refrigerate any remaining cake.

I’m not the ‘baker’ in the family, but I think that I can handle this! LOL!

Oh My, that sounds divine! I think I’ll use the homemade cake mix from the site here though, we generally don’t purchase cake mix boxes any longer due to the weird ingredients in them.

Tashdan…it’ll work…I made it last night for a cook-out that I’m going to and it’s sitting in the fridge ready to go;-D
