The sweet, tangy and scrumptious lemon cake is a great all-around cake for any occasion, whether you are having a tea party, a birthday party, or an outdoor picnic.

This is a double lemon recipe. The flavor of the lemon in the cake comes from the lemon flavored gelatin. The lemon juice and lemon rind are used to make the glaze to cover the cake. So it is quite a tangy experience when you bite into it, with different lemon flavors bursting in your mouth. To make this recipe use powdered gelatin and choose a good brand that has a distinct flavor of lemon that tastes more natural than artificial. The gelatin will help set the cake and give it a soft and luscious texture. Before it is added to the rest of the ingredients to make the cake batter the gelatin needs to be dissolved in water. Sprinkle the granules in a bit of cold water to avoid clumping. Over the surface of the water sprinkle the granules evenly to make sure that every particle dissolves instead of dumping them all in one pile. Let the powdered gelatin stand in the cold water for about 5 to 10 minutes, then pour the hot water over it. Stir until completely melted.

Before it can be added to the batter the gelatin dissolved in hot water has to be cooled completely. Before you mix them all together it is best if all the ingredients are at room temperature.
