Ingredients 

  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 1 package of dry lemon Jello mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • Zest from a large lemon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Juice of 1/2 large lemon

Instructions

For the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the first six ingredients into a large bowl and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed.
  • Spray bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray and pour the cake mixture into the bundt pan.
  • Bake for 42-45 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10-20 minutes.
  • Invert a large plate over the bundt pan and flip the cake onto the plate.

For the Glaze

  • Mix the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Pour half the lemon glaze on the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
  • Let it dry for 5 minutes and then add the rest of the glaze.

Notes

  • Let the cake cool at room temperature for 25-30 minutes before removing it from the pan.
  • To remove it, place an upside-down plate on top of the cake and flip it over. If you prepared the bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray, it should slide right out of the pan.
  • Here's my hint for using non-stick cooking spray without spraying it all over your countertop. Open the dishwasher, set the pan on the inside door of the dishwasher and spray. All of the extra spray gets on the dishwasher door and washes away next time you turn it on.
