Sue Hamlett, Pamplin, Virginia, sends this Lemon Jell-O Cake Recipe, writing, “My mom used to make this cake for me when I was a little girl, and I looooved this cake. This was the moistest cake, and I love lemon-flavored anything. This recipe had been lost for a long time and was not rediscovered by our family until, sadly, the passing of my mom’s mom. We found this recipe among her things. I had tried to find other recipes for the cake, but they all called for confectioner’s sugar, and I like this one with the granulated sugar. This cake brings back happy childhood memories for me. Ah, to be young again (only smarter).”
