This cake was good and easy to make. My family and friends enjoyed it. However, I will agree with the review from Kaybee stating it tasted like a box cake.

This was easy and the taste was awesome. As suggested, I made it a day ahead, doubled the glaze and added the melted butter. I think I'll try a bundt pan next time just to make it more festive. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious and easy. I would give it 6 stars if I could! Don't change a thing follow the recipe exactly. I doubled the frosting too.

This was excellent! The tartness of the icing mixed with the sweetness of the cake is just delicious!

I thought this cake would taste better than boxed cake, but to me, it tasted the same as a regular cake from cake mix.. EVERYONE loved it! But I was hoping for better.. Thanks V Monte!

This dessert was SO good! Big hit at the dinner party I took it to. Will serve with a light whipped white frosting as an option next time, for variety.

This cake was very juicy...all of the flavors combined well! It reminds me of my great-grandmother's lemon cake!

I made this one for a birthday and it got rave reviews. I used a fork to poke lots of holes in the cake before covering w/ glaze. Followed another reviewers recommendation and added a dab of butter to the glaze, along with some freshly grated lemon rind. Fresh squeezed lemon juice made it all the more tasty. I think this one is even better the next day, moist and more lemony. Next time, I will make it the day before serving. Good & easy!

I've been making a cake similar to this for years. It has a few differences though. Use only 2/3 C water and 3/4 C oil. Omit lemon extract. Bake in a bundt cake pan for 40 minutes at 350. Use only 2T lemon juice for glaze. Glaze after slightly cooled. This gives a much better cake to glaze ration. Yummm!

This is an old recipe, but I noticed the glaze recipe here is missing 2 Tablespoons of melted butter that my recipe has. Try it with the melted butter, I can't imagine it without.

I followed the directions to the letter and this cake was not good. I wondered about the lemon gelatin rather than pudding, but I used it. And then the "frosting" was like liquid. There is SO MUCH sugar in this recipe, it is almost in puddles in the bottom of the pan -- the cake is wet from it. Someone tell me what I did wrong!

Growing up this was one of my favorite desserts. My family calls it Lemon Suprise Cake. We too use lemon cake mix. If you want to make it extra fantastic, let the cake cool until it sets up a bit (15-20mins) then poke holes all over with a fork or skewer and pour the glaze all over (I double the glaze). It soaks into the cake and makes it even more moist and delicious!

I made this for Easter, and it is wonderful! I wondered if a yellow cake mix and lemon gelatin mix would be an odd combination, but with the glaze, it was very lemony. It is even more moist the next few days. My family loved it!

This cake was awesome! Made it for Easter and everyone loved it. To the reviewer who said the recipe needs to say temp and how long to bake... It says bake according to package directions. You should read something all the way through and actually make it before you review it unfairly.

I've been looking for a recipes to make a great lemon cake from scratch for awhile, and have not come up with anything close to being this good. Moist, very lemony, and easy. No one will ever know it's from a cake mix.

A SUPER-SUPER cake! I have made this for over 40 years and have never felt the need to change anything. Lemon cake mix does sound interesting, though!
