How to Make Lemonade Pound Cake

  1. Dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin in 3/4 cup of boiling water. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 4 large eggs and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until light and frothy.
  3. Add 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix to the wet ingredients.
  4. Gently mix in the cooled gelatin mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan (Bundt pan). Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the lemonade glaze: In a saucepan, combine 1 (12-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  8. Once the cake is baked, immediately poke holes all over the top using a wooden skewer or fork.
  9. Carefully pour the warm lemonade glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
