- There are lots of lemon flavors; what is this one like? It's like the lemon flavor in a lemon meringue pie. That nails it.

- How much does it make? After cooking, you'll have about three cups of syrup and sauce.

Blueberry pancakes with lemon syrup
I've always loved lemon. Lemon pie is my favorite, and I love good lemon desserts. But good lemon can be hard to find. Much of it is tinny and metallic-tasting. This isn't. It's like lemon pie on your plate.

How to Make an Incredible Lemon Poke Cake
Ingredients:
- Vanilla Cake Mix
- Shredded coconut
- Yellow food color (optional)
- Lemon syrup
- Bake the cake according to the directions on the packaging in a 9x9-inch pan. This will make the cake tall enough for deeper holes and more flavor dispersed throughout.
- After baking, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke quarter-inch holes about an inch apart in the cake.
- Pour the dessert sauce or syrup over the cake and into the holes.
- Top the cake as desired, but it's not necessary.
Prepare the optional coconut topping. While the cake is baking, color and flavor the coconut by putting the coconut in a bowl with a drop of yellow food color and a touch of lemon syrup. Stir until the color and syrup is dispersed. Cover the cake with the coconut.
