Last week my children wanted something sweet to eat. I told them I would make something quick using a cake mix, but the only kind we had was lemon flavored. I happened to have strawberries and whipped cream, so decided to make up a dessert using those ingredients. I knew that Sonic had a lemon-berry slush that was popular with a lot of people, so that slush became the inspiration for the cake. It turned out great! All of us - except the one non-lemon-fan - liked it. My dad was visiting today and he liked it, too. Apparently it's a keeper, so I'll share it with you.
Lemon Berry Poke Cake
1 lemon cake mix, baked per instructions on box
1 - 24 ounce container of frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 - 8 ounce container frozen whipped cream, thawed
1 cup powdered sugar
Bake cake per directions on box. Allow cake to cool. Drain strawberries, reserving juice. Poke holes in cooled cake with the end of a wooden spoon. Mix strawberry juice with sweetened condensed milk. Pour over cake. In medium bowl, mix strawberries, container of whipped cream, tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 cup of powdered sugar until well blended. Spread onto cake. Cover and place cake in refrigerator several hours or overnight before serving.

so was it kind of lemony strawberry short cake?
No, I don't think it would be described that way. The lemon flavor isn't very strong once the gooey stuff soaks in, but it's really good.
