Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 3 ounce package lemon Jello
  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup hot water
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Whipped cream and extra powdered sugar for topping optional

Instructions

For the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix Jello and water; cool.
  • Mix oil and cake mix.
  • Add eggs to the mix, one at a time.
  • Add the cooled Jello and mix.
  • Spread in greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 27-30 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, then add the glaze.
  • Allow cake to cool completely before cutting.

Glaze

  • Mix the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.
  • Using a toothpick or fork, poke holes in top of cake; pour glaze over top and sides.
  • Sprinkle on some extra powdered sugar and top with a dollop of whipped cream (optional) before serving.

Notes

  1. Properly Incorporate the Jello: Ensure that the Jello is properly mixed with water and cooled before adding it to the cake mix. This will help maintain the texture and consistency of the cake.
  2. Thoroughly Blend Ingredients: When mixing the cake batter, take care to thoroughly incorporate the oil, cake mix, eggs, and cooled Jello. Mixing well ensures even distribution of flavors and ingredients, resulting in a cohesive cake texture.
  3. Allow Sufficient Cooling Time: It's essential to allow the cake to cool adequately before adding the glaze. Rushing this step may cause the glaze to melt or become absorbed unevenly, affecting the overall presentation and taste of the cake. Aim for at least 10–15 minutes of cooling time before applying the glaze.
