Wow! Is this cake ever good! This is my idea of a summer cake...light and luscious. It’s light texture and heavenly taste make it appropriate to serve on a hot day or after a heavy meal. I don’t think anyone could ever tire of this smooth tasting cake. I made it according to directions and used lemon but I also love the flexibility in the endless combinations one could create by changing the Jell-O, pudding, and / or cake mix. It’s also nice to find all this flavor in a “guilt free” cake. This is definitely a keeper in our house. I’m submitting a photo of this beautiful cake and would encourage anyone to indulge themselves in creating their own version of this fabulous cake!
