Great recipe! I've made it twice already, once for my family, and then again with a meal, for someone who had been in the hospital. Very easy, and delicious. I used a bundt pan too.

This is almost a very good recipe. I reserved enough cake batter to make an 8" round cake in addition to the 9x13. I do this habitually because my plastic lid will touch the frosting otherwise. The little thin 8" round cake was better than the deeper 9x13. We would like this cake better made in layers than as a sheet cake. I took it to a potluck and it looked so plain that people thought it was just a yellow cake with some coolwhip on top. The frosting could use extra lemon flavor, so I would add extra lemon gelatin or lemon zest. It could use some color or garnish. I cut the leftover cake (hardly anyone tried it) into squares. I cut the cake squares into two layers, spread orange curd in between the layers and it was wonderful then. I will make this recipe again as a layer cake,using double the amount of (enhanced) frosting or using lemon pie filling in between the layers, since I likely will not find such a bargain on orange curd again.

Excellent recipe, very easy to make. I did note that when using Duncan Hines cake mix, the cake towards the middle was a little too moist. Next time I will use a different kind of cake make or use less of the gelatin. Also for a different twist, I used pineapple jello and added lemon juice to the frosting-wonderful recipe!

This was okay. I guess I'm not a big fan of poke cakes. I think they are more wet and soggy than what I would call moist. But this was a refreshing taste.

We loved this cake. The topping was the best...I used lite whipped cream, sugar free jello mix, and sugar free pudding mix. I didn't think it tasted artificial in the least. Next time for the cake I will use a brand name, not the generic, because it isn't as moist as Duncan Hines or Pilsbury.

This was so good. Brought it to a friend's dinner. We started of with a piece each, all six of us went back for second helpings, then ended up finishing it off by eating it right out of the pan with forks!!

This was wonderful. My husband and I loved it, especially. It's almost addictive! After it was gone, we kept opening the fridge hoping it was still there..lol. Just great served cold; very refreshing, although I do agree with the poster below who noted that the results might be better using and extract (and grated lemon peel?hmm..) instead of the gelatin mix in the frosting. I would recommend trying it as written first. It's really delicious, easy and inexpensive. Thank you, Caroline..this is a keeper!

My husband really liked this cake but I was expecting it to be a little more tangy. I may play with the ingredients a bit. Maybe leave the pudding mix out of the topping.

I made this twice and got rave reviews both times. Next time however, I might try adding real lemon juice or extract instead of the gelatin to the topping. It tasted a little too artificial this last time.

I made this cake for Memorial Day Weekend for our family. It was great, and everyone loved it! Perfect for summer--light and refreshing. My sister-in-law requested the recipe. I used a straw to poke holes in the cake, and only used 1 cup hot water with the lemon jello to pour over the cake. Everything else I kept the same, and it turned out great!

Amazingly delicious! I don't know what that reviewer was talking about! How would you even make the topping WITHOUT the PUDDING? Are they insane?? Perfect, don't change a thing!! I will make this cake again and again and maybe even again after that!
