I love recipes like this one that takes a plain packaged cake mix to the next level. All you need is a little Yellow Cake Mix and some Lemon Jello.
The lemon jello mix you add to this cake recipe not only gives it a nice lemony flavor but it will also make the cake light and fluffy. Once you start using Jello mixes with cake mixes there is no going back.
I like to use a bundt pan when making this recipe but you can use whatever shape and type of pan you want. Just make sure you use the suggested baking time on the cake mix packaging for the size and type of pan you are using. As always, do a toothpick test to ensure the cake is fully basked.
If you use the quantities listed below for the lemon drizzle, it will mostly get absorbed into the cake. If you are looking for the lemon drizzle to stay visible and hardened on the cake, reduce the amount of lemon juice you add to the powdered sugar by 1 - 2 tablespoons.
