This Lemon Cake or lemon cupcake recipe is fast and the absolute best lemon cake recipe. Use this as a dessert for a summer dinner, a spring party or in the winter to mix up the parade of winter desserts. This easy lemon cake recipe is made with a lemon cake mix and a box of Lemon gelatin mix, resulting a very moist lemon cake.
Things you'll need:
Lemon Cake Mix and ingredients called for on the box mix
Lemon gelatin mix.
Optional - lemon frosting or lemon icing
1 Make the lemon cake mix Following the directions on the box, make the lemon cake in either a 9x13 pan or as cupcakes. Remove the cake from the oven at the appropriate time and when a knife or skewer plunged into the middle and removed comes out clean.
2 Mix Lemon gelatin mix Using a small box of the lemon gelatin mix with only the hot water called for in the recipe (this will be half of the total amount of water, you will not use the cold water called for on the box.)
3 Make openings in the top of the cake While the cake is still warm, just from the oven, use a knife or fork to make holes throughout the cake at two to four inch intervals. Pour the gelatin mix into these holes. If the gelatin mix runs off the cake instead of penetrating, try placing the knife into the cake straight down, then slant slightly to the left (if you are right handed, or right if you are left handed) and then pour the gelatin mix into the opening made by the knife. Repeat until you have poured the gelatin mix evenly throughout the cake.
4 Frost if desired If desired, frost or ice the cake with lemon flavored frosting or icing. Keep with the theme of a quick and easy lemon cake, buy lemon frosting at the store and use it from the container.
