What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!


1 package (18.25 ounce size) lemon cake mix, plus ingredients to prepare
1 package (3 ounce size) lemon gelatin mix
1 cup boiling water
1 container (8 ounce size) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 package (3 ounce size) instant lemon pudding mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan. Poke holes in cake while still hot with the round handle of a wooden spoon.
Make gelatin with only 1 cup of boiling water. Pour gelatin over cake while warm. Cool the cake.
Beat together whipped topping, pudding mix, milk and vanilla extract. Pour mixture over cooled cake and refrigerate until ready to serve. Easy but good!

Can anyone tell me if the Las Vegas Lemon Poke Cake is something they serve at buffets in Vegas? We are doing a state project and have to make a dish related to the state of Nevada.
