Wow! With a few adjustments these turned out great! I used a box of lemon cake mix. I was so hesitant to use only egg whites and just 2 TB oil as the box called for 3 whole eggs and much more oil. I was afraid it would turn out very hard but it was actually so moist! I baked mine at 325 for about 23 minutes in 2 9X9 round cake pans. I made a layer cake and had plenty of icing for the middle layer and to completely cover the cake. I used 1/4 cup lemon juice in the icing and it still didn't seem very lemony so I added a couple dashes of lemon extract and a little extra powdered sugar (as it was very thin to start)- Perfection. I made this for my daughter's 6th b'day- St. Paddy's Day- so I made it all green (cake and icing) with gel food coloring. Everyone raved about the flavor. Will definitely be making this again with the above mentioned adjustments as I don't think white cake mix would make it lemony enough. Also, you really do need to add extra lemon flavor to the icing.

These were a HUGE hit when I took them to work. They disappeared! Didn't change a thing, perfect as is!

Yummy! I put yellow food coloring in the icing, sprinkled on some yellow crystals and topped it off with a Lemonhead candy. Everybody loves these!

I made this recipe with the exact ingredients shown. I frequently checked baking time and with my oven, it ended up being about 17-18 minutes. These were delicious!
