This is a doctored mix, but it is wonderful!

1 box of Duncan Heinz Lemon Supreme cake mix
1/3 cup cooking oil
3 eggs
1 package of lemon jello (stir into 1 cup boiling water and allow to cool a little before adding to egg, cake mix and oil mixture.)
Mix together and bake according to directions on the cake box.

The drizzle is optional, depending on what you want to do with the cake.

While cake is baking mix the drizzle.
2 cups of powdered sugar (may need a little more but need enough to cover top of cake)
3-4 tablespoons of real lemon or lemon juice use enough to get it to a
runny stage.
After cake is done. Poke holes about every inch or so all over the cake making sure they go to the bottom of the pan.
Pour drizzle over warm cake. Use a rubber spatula to make sure it is evenly distributed over the entire cake. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the warmth to soak the drizzle throughout the cake.

If you want a great scratch cake, use this recipe, and for extra lemony punch, substitute thawed lemonade concentrate for the orange juice in the cake.

Its the bomb.

I haven't tried this yet, but have finally found the small packages of instant and cook&serve lemon pudding...I will probably use 1 small bottle of lorann lemon oil in lieu of the superior lemon flavoring (b/c I don't know where to get it!). I've made her other recipe, Margie's Incredible Chocolate Cake and it is the best doctored recipe I've ever had, so I have high hopes for this one...
