Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box of lemon cake mix
- 3 oz Lemon Jello powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
For the Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or butter.
Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, lemon Jello powder, eggs, water, lemon zest, and vegetable oil. Mix together using a whisk or electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
Bake the Cake:
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and lemon juice. Heat over low-medium heat until warmed. Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking continuously until smooth and fully combined.
Glaze the Cake:
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to seep into the cake slightly for extra flavor.
Serve:
- Slice the cake into 12 pieces and enjoy!
