Notes:
It is best to allow the cake to cool completely before you cut it because it will tear, if cut hot. Incidentally, if you don't mind eating crumbs, you should at least try a bite while it is warm. It is so delicious that way!
This is a very flavorful cake that really melts in your mouth. If you are a lemon lover, this cake's for you!
1 package (3 ounces) lemon-flavored gelatin |
3/4 cup hot water |
1 box (2-layer) yellow cake mix |
4 eggs |
1/2 cup oil |
1/3 cup frozen lemonade, undiluted |
1/3 cup sugar |
- DO NOT PREHEAT THE OVEN!
- Dissolve the lemon gelatin in the hot water and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mix until well blended.
- Add the gelatin mixture and beat until smooth. Pour into a greased and lightly floured 9"x13" baking pan.
- Set the oven to 300 degrees and bake the cake for about 40 minutes.
If the cake sinks slightly in the center, don't worry. It's okay. It is done when a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Combine the lemonade and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Spoon over the warm cake. Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting.
