I got this recipe from a Southern Living magazine over 20 years ago. It's a family favorite that I've made many, many times over the years. It's also one of my most-requested dishes for our family reunions.

Miss Rosa’s Lemonade Cake

CAKE:

¾ cup water

1 box (4-servings size) lemon gelatin (Jello)

1 box (18.25 ounces) yellow cake mix

4 eggs

2/3 cup vegetable oil

GLAZE:

1 can (6 ounces) lemonade concentrate, thawed

2/3 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease & flour a 12-cup Bundt or tube cake pan. Set aside.

Bring water to a boil & pour over gelatin, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer on low speed, mix together dry cake mix, eggs & vegetable oil, following package directions.

Mix in cooled lemon gelatin mixture.

Pour batter evenly into the greased & floured cake pan.

Bake at 350ºF for 55 - 70 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.

While cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing together the thawed lemonade concentrate & sugar until well-blended.

Remove cake from oven & cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove cake from pan & place on a wire rack that has been set over a plate.

With a pick or skewer, poke holes all over surface of cake. While cake is still hot, pour lemonade glaze over the cake.

Move the wire rack with the cake to another plate. Pour the glaze that dripped off the cake onto the first plate back over the cake.

Continue this process until glaze no longer runs off cake.
