I've been dreaming of Strawberry Shortcake all winter, so when I finally found really ripe amazing smelling strawberries at the market I decided to make this Strawberry Shortcake Poke Cake because I wasn't in the mood to make traditional biscuits and roll them out.
I made a moist and light yellow lemon buttermilk cake for the base because I knew it would be the perfect flavor combo.Then filled it with fresh strawberry puree, diced strawberries and smothered it in freshly whipped cream.
My Dad who never eats dessert decided to have a slice and said it was the best ever. He even wanted to have a piece for breakfast the next morning and let me tell you that is way out of his normal. I don't think I've ever seen him eat sweets for breakfast, the man even drinks his morning coffee black!
So I know if he loves it as much as the rest of the family you'll love it too!
