Ingredients:

1 box lemon cake mix (plus required ingredients usually water, oil, and eggs)

1 package (3 oz) lemon-flavored Jell-O mix

1 package (3.4 oz) lemon instant pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

8 ounces whipped topping, thawed

Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare Pan:

Preheat the oven as per the lemon cake mix instructions. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Bake the Cake:

Prepare and bake the lemon cake mix as directed on the box. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool slightly, then poke holes over the top using a wooden spoon handle, spaced about 1 inch apart.

Add Jell-O:

Prepare the lemon Jell-O according to package directions but only let it cool slightly without setting.

Pour the liquid Jell-O over the cake, filling the holes.

Chill:

Refrigerate the cake for an hour to allow the Jell-O to set.

Prepare Pudding Layer:

Whisk lemon pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, then fold in the whipped topping.

Spread this over the Jell-O layer on the cake.

Chill Again:

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours.

Serve:

Before serving, garnish with lemon zest for added flavor and decoration.

Serve chilled, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
