Lemon Jell-O Cake

We had this cake growing up, and I remember always wanting to help poke the holes and pour the liquid in the cake. Not to say that I still don’t enjoy doing it. You could never have too much of it with its lemony flavor. This is fun, easy, and light dessert that seems special and that you took a lot of time, when in fact you didn’t.


Cake
1 lemon cake mix
4 eggs, beaten
⅓ - ½ c oil (look at the box and go with what it says)
1 – 3 oz package of lemon Jell-O
¾ c boiling water

Glaze
¾ c lemon juice
1 c powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 °. Grease a 9”x13” pan very well. Boil water and then add the lemon Jell-O. Stir constantly until the jell-o has dissolved. Pour Jell-O into mixing bowl with the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mix for 4 minutes. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes. While still hot, poke all over (every ¼ “ or so) with several chopsticks (you can use a fork, but the cake rises quite a bit and you would just thrash the top of the cake). When done, combine the glaze ingredients and pour all over the cake, making sure to get everywhere. Let it sit for a bit so that the glaze has time to be absorbed.
