Someone asked me for this and I should have posted it here instead of in the comments section. I'm a bit distracted since I just moved. This was my mom's favorite cake and she loved it with whipped cream. Hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup water

How To Make lemon jello cake

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat oven to 350*. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl,combine cake mix, oil, water, eggs and jello. Beat with mixer on medium-high speed for 4 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Pour into pan and bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Step 4
    As soon as cake is done and is hot, use a meat fork or skewer and punch holes all over cake. Spread glaze all over cake--glaze will melt down into cake. Let cool and serve with whipped cream.
  • Step 5
    Glaze: 3/4 cup powdered sugar (sift if you like) 3 TBS butter 3 TBS Lemon Juice Enough milk to make a spreadable glaze
  • Step 6
    Can make this cake using other flavors: just match up cake mix and jello, and if possible, juice in the glaze. I have made Cherry and Orange versions.
