Lemon Cake to Die For

[QSis]

This is INCREDIBLE!!

I made it with regular lemon pudding, since I couldn't find instant. Evidently, reviewers have also made it with lemon jello and lemon cake mix.

Next time I'll add lemon zest to the batter.

Spectacular! VERY moist on the inside, delicious glaze crust on the outside.

That looks very similar, if not identical otherwise, to a cake my mother used to make (me too) but ours uses a box of lemon jello. It makes a really moist, light and refreshing cake, kind of like a sponge cake in texture. Nobody likes it but me though because of the lemon flavor so it's been years since I made it.

I've been going through my late mom's papers and found the recipe for PEO cake. I think it would fit in this thread and will cost it later.
