~A Cake for Exhausted Cooks~

Hello everyone, 

Well my life is getting calmer since I have the kitchen mostly put together. Now I can get back to my favorite hobby BLOGGING...

On Monday we had family visiting from out of town and I baked a cake.

 YELLOW JELL-O GLAZE CAKE 

This cake has been a family favorite since I found the recipe in a 1971 Grange Cookbook. 

In the early 70's my kids loved a couple of pieces packed in their lunch box. I think they might have been selling the extra piece for cash, Hum... 

A Cake for Exhausted Cooks.

Simple ingredients and the cake is done in a hour from start to finish.

In the early 70's while the kids were young, ingredients were less expensive. A cake mix, 
fresh lemon juice squeezed from my mother's lemon tree.  Water and oil.

Fresh eggs from our chickens and a package of lemon jell-0.
A cake that is moist and has a delicious flavor. 
So Simple! It's a good thing~

Poking the holes in the cake is easy and adding the lemon glaze is the best!
