How to Make Great Lemon Cake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 (3 oz) package lemon-flavored gelatin, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze: Finely grate the zest from 2 lemons and set aside. Juice the lemons and measure out 1/4 cup of juice.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, the lemon zest, and the lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the cake is completely cool, gently poke holes all over the top using a large fork.
- Pour the lemon glaze evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Let the glaze set for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
