The “official party line” of the Ewoldt household remains — “if it doesn’t have chocolate, it’s not dessert“. However, I truly believe that there is one exception to this rule. A recipe so luscious and lemon-y that it’s guaranteed to make your socks roll up and down. …well, not really. …but still, it’s really, really, really, really good.
You’ll need …
1 box of standard yellow cake mix
1 small package of lemon jello
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup water
4 eggs
Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl (wonder how many times I can work the word “mix” into this sentence?) or mixer (ha!) for about 4 minutes and then pour into a greased 13×9 and bake at 350 for 30 to 45 minutes.
As soon as the cake is baked and removed from the oven, take a roasting fork and poke holes all over the top of it. Then mix 2 cups of powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons of lemon juice and glaze (while cake is still hot).
Oh my … there are no words …
