There are many versions of this recipe around. Mine is from my mother, and when she asked what cake I wanted for my 10'th birthday -- Lemon Jello! We've been eating this in my family literally all of my life. This version is great due to the tangy glaze. The glaze makes the lemon zing and it's soooo good.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pkg (small) lemon jello
3/4 c boiling water
1 box yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 tsp lemon flavoring
GLAZE ICING
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
4 Tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Boil 3/4 cup water and mix it with the 2 packages of jello. Stir until dissolved, and let cool. While jello is cooling, grease tube or Bundt pan.
  • 2. In large bowl, mix cake mix, eggs, oil, and lemon flavoring. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add Jello mixture and mix well. Pour into greased pan and bake for 55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • 3. Cool cake for 15 -20 minutes, and turn out of pan. Make icing/glaze and ice while cake is warm. Let cool and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Lemons that are too old or have been sitting around for too long will not have as much juice or zest, and the cake will not be as flavorful.
  • Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them. The zest is where most of the lemon flavor is, so you don't want to miss out on it.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs on it, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. If you frost the cake while it is still warm, the frosting will melt and slide off.

Conclusion:

Lemon jello cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and refreshing, with a bright lemon flavor. The cake is easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For a simple dessert, simply dust the cake with powdered sugar or top it with a dollop of whipped cream. For a more elegant dessert, you can frost the cake with a lemon buttercream frosting or glaze it with a lemon glaze. No matter how you choose to serve it, lemon jello cake is sure to be a hit.
