Lemon Cake Recipe
My mother made this a lot when I was growing up and I just ran across the recipe. Thought I would share.

Ingredients
  • 1 box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 c. oil
  • 1 tsp. lemon extract
  • 1 pkg. lemon Jello
  • Glaze
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • Enough lemon juice to make it soupy

Directions
  1. Dissolve Jello in 1 cup hot water and let cool. Beat first 4 ingredients for about 1 minute. Pour in Jello after it cools and beat another minute. Pour in greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake at 325 degree for 30 minutes. When done, poke holes in cake almost all the way to the bottom of the pan - I use a chopstick - and cover with glaze. Let it soak in good, cut and serve!

Sunny, you can't keep doing this to me.


Sounds wonderful, love lemon.


Great recipe that I have made for years. It is an old TandT..absolutely delicious with coffee. In fact, I ate a piece in a high end coffee shop this summer. The last time I baked it, I left out the lemon extract..didn't have any. Baked it in a Bundt pan, and just drizzled the icing. It was delish!!


I make something just like this. Except I use a lemon cake and instead of glaze, I mix a pkg of Dream Whip with an instant lemon pudding and milk. So, so good and I'm going to make it this weekend!


I love recipes with yellow cake mix- FUN!


Okay, I WAS going to make a Chocolate cake BUT...this looks too good to pass up. Lemon lover all the way!!Thanks,
Betty


This was popular with the men I made it for last night. They had requested a lemon cake, AND I HAD NO LEMONS, only lemon jello and lemon extract. I frosted it with a tub of classic white frosting, while cake still hot.


Love it!


I have been searching high and low for this recipe!! My sweet mother used to make this for us kids when we were growing up!! Always a family favorite! I have seen several variations on this site but this is the real thing!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!


Has anyone tried this with a lemon box cake instead of yellow? I'm going to, because I have one in the pantry already...think I'll try it without the extract.


Yum I love lemon.
