    Fresh blueberries always bring so much happiness to me!

    Summer desserts are my favorite. All the berry desserts make summer days even brighter and more delicious.

    One of my favorite flavor combination for desserts is lemon blueberry. It's great for cakes, cheesecakes, and of course, cupcakes!

    Poke cake is one of my favorites and I'm surprised that I didn't have any recipes for one on the blog. This lemon blueberry poke cake is one of our favorites. I made it the other day and Kyle took it to work and it was all eaten in no time.

    To make this lemon blueberry poke cake you will need a lemon cake mix. Make it according to the package instructions to get the exact texture and density that's needed for poke cake.

    For this lemon blueberry poke cake I made the blueberry sauce/filling myself using frozen blueberries, but you can of course use blueberry pie filling if that's what easier for you. If you are using canned blueberry pie filling, make sure you add the juice and zest of a lemon to get the best flavor.

    To poke the cake, I used a straw but a wooden spoon would work very well, too. Make sure you don't poke the holes all the way down into the cake because that would break the cake slices. I also mashed the blueberries a bit before pouring the sauce on the cake but this step is completely optional.
