Lemonade Cake (aka lemon gelatin cake)

I put a couple of recipes on my blog yesterday and thought I'd share them here as well...

I love this cake at any time, but it is one that I always have to make at least once a summer. Last year Mom and I tried it with orange jello and orange juice. It was pretty dang good. This year I used a strawberry cake mix instead of yellow. Strawberry Lemonade cake - yum!! But the original is still the best. (The picture is my Strawberry Lemonade cake that I made last weekend). Mom's recipe actually calls it Lemon Gelatin Cake, but I always refer to it as:

Lemonade Cake
1 pkg. yellow or white cake
1 3 oz. pkg of lemon jello
1 /2 c. oil
4 eggs
1 c. water

Combine cake mix, jello, oil and water. Beat for 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour into a greased oblong (9x13) pan, Bake at 350 for 45 minutes (give or take). Cool and poke holes in the tope with a fork. Then pour glaze over the top.

Glaze
2 c. powdered sugar
2 T lemonade concentrate, thawed (I usually end up using more - closer to 4 T)

Whisk together and pour over the top.

This picture came out a little blurry...but it shows the glaze on top well :)
