So you are thinking this cake is going to be jiggly like jello huh? Nope. It's just the opposite. The lemon jello is used in the cake mix to flavor the yellow cake mix. It gives the cake a more authentic lemon flavor than an already flavored lemon cake mix. I have made this recipe with a lemon cake mix and a yellow cake mix and the yellow cake mix is hands down WAYYYYY better. If you are a lemon lover, you will absolutely fall in love with this lemon concoction. The lemon glaze gets poured onto a hot cake, so that you are left with a decadent, moist, tart dessert, that is incredibly simple to make.
Lemon Jell-O Cake
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 small pkg lemon jello
3/4 c. water
4 eggs
3/4 c. oil
2 c powdered sugar
1/2 c. lemon juice
Mix jello package, eggs, water, oil, and cake mix for 4 minutes. Add 3/4 c. oil, mix until blended. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan or bundt pan. Bake cake at 325 degrees for 35-40 minutes (or slightly longer if using a bundt pan. While the cake is baking, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to form a glaze. When you remove the cake from the oven, immediately prick cake all over with a fork. Pour glaze evenly over cake. Let cake cool completely before serving.

This is a wonderful cake. I made this once but with orange jello and orange juice. Everyone loved it! I can't wait to try lemon!
Does this cake need refrigeration or is it okay to leave covered at room temperature ?
This fabulous Lemon Bundt Cake is amazing. My guests wanted seconds. Many took the recipe home. I kept it at room tempt till after the guests had gone. Then I put the rest in the frig to keep longer so it will not mold. Although, I am sure it would of been long gone till that happened. The Lemon tart cake is great cold too.
This recipe has been in my family a long time...since the 60s. It always sat out until the first servings. If there was any left 😁 it was refrigerated because of the lemon juice. I have left it out overnight and it was fine the next day. But, I wouldn’t trust it much longer.
