Lemon Jello Cake

[Barbara L]

Lemon Jello Cake:

1 yellow cake mix
1 3-oz. package lemon jello (other citrus flavors work well too)
3/4 cup water
4 eggs
3/4 cup oil

Add jello, water and 1 egg to cake mix. Beat well. Add 3 more eggs. Beat thoroughly. Add oil and beat well again. Pour into greased and floured 9" x 13" pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and prick the top of the cake all over. (I have used dry spaghetti noodles for this when I didn't have toothpicks). Immediately spread with glaze made of 2 cups lightly packed powdered sugar and the juice of 2 lemons. Cool.

**********************
I usually use orange Jello.

Thanks for the recipes. We all like lemon around here. Will try them both but won't be same day. The fact that it doesn't require icing is a plus. Have to try to minimize the amount of calories and I don't think these cakes will have many. At least, I hope not.
