Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Recipe Note

My mother-in-law loves key lime pie. I wanted to make something different for her so I combined a key lime pie with a poke cake and this is what I came up with. She loved it. So we named it after her.
