Lemon gelatin adds a sweet burst of lemon to this already moist cake. Topped with flaked coconut, it’s picture perfect and delicious.

This cake was a hit!! I made it for Easter and everyone raved about it. It tasted light and fluffy with a nice but not overpowering lemon flavor. I added a few malted pastel eggs for a little decoration.

Maybe Stephanie put too much water in the cake. Recipe calls for jello, and this would be dry from the box. Note the reduced water. I have made many cakes from mixes with either jello or pudding and they always come out good.

Awful recipe! I have never made a box cake with jello in it, and never will again! Everyone in my family called this the swimming pool cake, as I baked it in a 9 x 13 pan and it came out big and fluffy on the sides, and completey sunk in in the middle. When I cut into it and tasted it, the edges were delicious, but the center was mushy and heavy, where all the jello had settled for some reason. I should have just made the cake as is! It would have tasted better!
