Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Grease with shortening, then flour a 10 cup bundt pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the Jell-O with the boiling water and allow it to cool slightly. 1 small box lemon Jell-O gelatin, 1 cup boiling water
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or with an electric mixer and a large bowl), combine cake mix with eggs, adding the eggs one at a time. Add the cooled Jell-O, lemon extract and oil. Mix two minutes on medium speed. 1 box Pillsbury traditional white cake mix, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon lemon extract, 3/4 cup canola oil
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a cake plate or cooling rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and powdered sugar. Slowly drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake. The cake can still be slightly warm when you do this. 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 cup powdered sugar-

Notes
- If you use a fresh lemon for the lemon juice, add in the lemon zest as well.
- I highly recommend it since it adds such a fresh lemon flavor.
- You can bake this in a loaf pan for a lemon loaf cake if you prefer, but one recipe would make 2 loaves.
- You could also use a lemon cake mix or yellow cake mix.
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
