Lemon Jello Cake

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Cakes

Simple and very lemony. Delicious.

"This is a great all purpose cake. In my family, we even use it as a birthday cake. In the summer there is nothing better on a hot day than to pull a piece out of the freezer and eat it. We too had lost the recipe until my sister happened on it in an old cook book she got from our Mom after she passed. We often make it with a white cake mix. It is very hard to not get a wonderful simple cake." - lfleeman

    Very tangy & sweet & easy to make! So so yummy! I look forward to switching up the jello flavors! I used sugar-free jello & it tastes just as flavorful.

    It doesn't specify what size of package to use for the Jello.

    The cake was super easy to make and was delicious! One note, I decided to be creative and make a bundt cake but the glaze was so runny is literally ran off the sides so I was a bit disappointed. Next time I make it I will make it a flat cake- my mistake! Otherwise it was awesome!

    Cake was excellent. To cut some of the fat, I used 1/4 cup veg oil and 1/2 cup applesauce in place of the 3/4 cup oil. My cake was very moist and delicious!! Great lemon flavor.

    I had lost my moms recipe copy for this cake and was so excited to find it. We called it camping cake growing up because my mom always it (and used orange instead of lemon) every time we went camping. This is the most moist and delicious cake ever. Thank you BigOven!!!!!
