Lemon Jello Cake Recipe

John's Mom is a huge fan of any lemon dessert. I decided to make this Lemon Jello Poke Cake as a surprise for her.  This is one of those family recipes that is always a hit.

I bought a huge bag of lemons from Costco during our last stay at home stock up trip. Now I am on a roll making new fun lemon recipes. LOL!

Did you see the delicious Lemon Dutch Baby we shared earlier this week? Weeks at home gave me a ton of time to play with the recipe and tweak it until it was perfect and now a new favorite.

Even though it is weird to stay inside the house so much I am loving having time in the kitchen. Being able to spend time developing new recipes and updating old recipes has been my form of stress relief. I have been working on recipes that I first shared back in 2012 which is crazy.

Recipe Tips

Make sure you grease and flour the 9X13 Cake Pan to make it easier to remove the cake

You can add the glaze to the cake while it is in the pan or you can put the cake on a cake plate and pour the glaze over it then.

I used a skewer to poke holes all over the top of the cake and they were pretty large. If you want to hide the holes you can use a toothpick so they are smaller.

Pour the glaze on the cake when it is warm so it soaks into the cake and makes it super moist.

You can easily use whipped cream or Cool-Whip for icing on this cake. Both are light and fluffy and can be added to the top of the cake.

A hand mixer makes it a lot easier to make this cake. I am in love with our KitchenAid hand mixer. I don't know what I did before I bought it.

I haven't tried making this recipe with sugar-free jello so I am not sure how it would taste. Please let me know if you try it.

I used fresh lemon juice since we had a ton of lemons in the house. You can also make this with bottled lemon juice.

We hope you love this Lemon Jello Cake as much as we do!
