The cake itself was good except the frosting The texture was stiff and hard to work with. I'm glad I didnt make it for guests, as I would have been embarrased. I would only attempt making this again with a different frosting.

I was a bit disappointed with this cake. I'd enjoyed this cake years ago when a friend prepared it using raspberry jello and a Cool Whip topping. This was good but seemed to lack flavor for me.

i used lemon pudding instead of vanilla because i read the instructions wrong but it worked out great. i forgot to add the 2nd gelatin to the frosting and it was great. i will definitly make this again the same way i did this time. i almost ate the whole cake myself! o yeah i used french vanilla cool whip topping instead of the original it gives it a deeper flavor!

I made this cake exactly according to the recipe listed and everyone in my family (even my husband who doesn't really like lemon) raved about it. I will certainly make this again...especially in the hot summer months. YUM!

Made this for Easter. To add a little spring. I made it bunt cake style. Used strawberry jello and sliced strawberries around the top. Also sliced the cake and put a layer of the frosting in the middle. It was a big hit. I have made several jello cakes but only cool whip for topping. This was very good.

My mom has been making this for as long as I can remember. However, we never made it with lemon jell-o... reds or greens were our favorites. Also, leaving the gelatin out of the frosting makes for a creamy complement to any other flavor of gelatin you might use in the cake. My husband doesn't like cake, but he eats the heck out of this. :)

tasty lemon cake that even the husband liked, and he doesn't like lemon cakes in general. A bit dense, but sponge like. I will make this again

This is my son-in-law's favorite cake, so I made it for his birthday this weekend. If you're in a hurry, Cool Whip will suffice for the icing.

This was a pretty good cake ... adding the extra ingredients helps take away that 'boxed cake' flavor. It's light and refreshing and would be good for a dessert at a bbq for a dessert that doesn't take much time or effort. I would make it again but next time try it with the lime jello.

Delicious! I use sugar-free and fat-free jello and pudding as well as light Cool Whip to keep the fat and calorie count down. Very yummy and you'll never miss it!

Made this for a co-worker's birthday and there wasn't enough to go around! If you're pressed for time, make the cake one day ahead of time, refrigerate, then make the frosting the day of serving.

While I have to admit being partial to anything "lemony," this recipe is absolutely to die for!!!! Not only was it fast and easy to make, it was very light and refreshing as well...perfect dessert after a big meal or picnic! Can't remember when I've had so many compliments on a dessert! I would highly recommend this!!!!

Made this recipe with strawberry jello, and it came out great. I did take the advise of other reviewers and only used one cup of water with the jello. The cake was awesome and the kids, and the hubby really enjoyed it. Will try this recipe again using other jello flavors!

I was thrilled with this cake, as was everyone @ work. I used all Lemon: cake,pudding,Jello-O. Cut the water for gelatin to 1 cup. Let topping set in refrig while cake/gelatin chilled. covered with topping,chilled overnight. I can't wait to try this in all the flavors that others mentioned. It was easy to make, tasted great! Not too sweet. I will make this many times. Thanks for sharing.
