Lemon Cakes for the 1 hour Challenge

I made some more recipe layouts for the 1 hour challenge thread on the Cricut MB. These are 2 of my favorite lemon recipes, very easy ones also. I love anything lemon.  The first one is a recipe from Allens grandmother Bessie. She had actually made a strawberry version of this but it had too many seeds, it was very good tho. I liked this one better,  it reminds me of her and the first time I met Allens Napa family.  

Lemon Jello Cake 
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1/2 cup oil
1 pkg lemon jello, 3 oz size
2/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs

Icing
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Juice of 2 lemons

Mix 1st six ingredients together and bake in a 9x13 greased dish at 350* for 40 minutes or until tested done.

Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice. Poke holes in warm cake with fork and pour icing over the top.

 

This next cake recipe is a little weird but does work. After you bake it the pudding is on the bottom. Very yummy.

Warm Lemon Cake
