Lemon Cake

15 Servings Prep: 20 Min. Bake: 25 Min. + Cooling

Ingredients

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) white cake mix

1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water

4 egg whites

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 teaspoon lemon extract

4 drops yellow food coloring, optional

LEMON GLAZE:

1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

1/3 cup lemon juice

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, gelatin, water, egg whites, applesauce, oil, lemon extract and food coloring if desired; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.

Pour into a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, for glaze, in a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle about a third of glaze over cake; carefully spread evenly. Repeat with remaining glaze. Cool completely. Yield: 15 servings.
