How to Make Pucker Up Lemon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) lemon cake mix, 1 package (1 ounce) lemon-flavored gelatin, 1 cup water, 3 large eggs, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
  4. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined.
  5. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing to a wire rack.
  9. While cake cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1-2 tablespoons water until smooth and pourable. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the cake has completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
  11. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving. Enjoy slightly warm or at room temperature!
