My mom loves lemon, so for this Mother's Day Sunday I decided to make a lemon cake.
Perfect for spring and summer, this is a dessert with the freshness of a tart lemon.
Plus it's one of the easiest treats you can make!
Your ingredients include:
For the cake:
1 package of yellow cake mix
1 dry 3 oz. package of lemon Jello-O gelatin
4 eggs
3/4 cup of water
3/4 cup of vegetable oil
For the glaze:
2 cups of powdered sugar
6 tablespoons of lemon juice or 2 juiced lemons
First, combine cake mix, gelatin powder, water, eggs, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl, and mix well until blended.
Pour batter into a greased 9x13 glass baking pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown on top and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
After the cake is removed from the oven, use a the handle of a wooden spoon or a wooden skewer to poke holes in the cake so that when you pour the glaze over it, the cake will soak some of it inside.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
When the cake has slightly cooled, pour the glaze over the cake and spread it evenly.
Refrigerate the cake to allow the glaze to harden. When completely cooled, cut the cake into cute little squares and eat!!!
Refrigerate left over cake to keep fresh.
