Time 50m

Yield One 9-by-13-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened, plus more for preparing the pan
3 cups/385 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for preparing the pan
1 1/3 cups whole milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups/403 grams granulated sugar
4 teaspoons packed finely grated lemon zest
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), softened
2 cups/246 grams confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Pinch kosher salt
4 to 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, butter and flour the paper.
  • In a measuring cup with a spout, combine the milk and lemon juice. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing for about 30 seconds after each. Scrape down bottom and sides of the mixer to ensure the mixture is well combined.
  • With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the bowl in three additions. Mix until just combined, then use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any large air pockets. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely on a rack before frosting.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: Combine the butter, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low until combined, then turn the mixer up to medium-high and stream in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Whip the frosting until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, adding additional lemon juice as necessary until frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store leftover cake at room temperature, covered for up to 2 days.

Lemon pie filling lends a splash of citrus flavor to convenient cake mix, and a rich cream cheese frosting gives it sweetness. My family likes this lemon sheet cake cold, so I cut it into squares and freeze before serving. -Alyce Dubisar, North Bend, Oregon

COOL LEMON-LIME SHEET CAKE



Cool Lemon-lime Sheet Cake image

Easy and cool lemon cake with lime stripes. Very moist with a creamy, light frosting. This recipe used to be on the back of one of the packages years ago, I forget which one. Another variation of this recipe is to use devil's food (or dark chocolate) cake, cherry jello and chocolate pudding. I didn't include the time for chilling, since this probably varies depending on where you are.

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lemon cake mix (size package to make a regular layer cake)
egg, as required by the mix
oil, as required by the mix
1 package lime Jell-O gelatin (size package to serve 4)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 package lemon pudding mix (the kind that you mix with milk and doesn't need cooking, should be a size package to serve 4)
1 package Dream Whip (do not premix, should be the type that makes 2 cups) or 1 packet similar whipped dessert topping mix (do not premix, should be the type that makes 2 cups)
2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Bake the lemon cake mix as per instructions in a 13" x 9" pan.
  • Cool.
  • While cooling, mix the lime jello with the boiling water to dissolve completely, then add the cool water.
  • Cool jello but do not allow mixture to get too thickened before doing the next step.
  • It has to be able to pour easily.
  • Make holes in the cake 1" apart over the whole surface (yes all the way to the bottom of the pan!).
  • I use the handle of a wooden spoon, round and maybe 1/4" in diameter.
  • Pour the lime jello into the holes with a teaspoon.
  • Use all the jello, even if you have to do the holes more than once.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
  • Beat the dry lemon pudding mix, dry whipped topping mix and milk with an electric mixer (on high after the ingredients are blended) until light and fluffy.
  • Frost the cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pkg lime gelatin (4 serving size)
1 box duncan hines deluxe 11 lemon supreme cake mix

Steps:

  • 1. Topping - 1 envelope whipped topping mix (Dream Whip) (2 cup size) 1 pkg Lemon Instant Pudding Mix ( 3 3/4 oz) 1 1/2 cup cold milk
  • 2. Dissolve gelatin in 3/4 cup boiling water. Add 1/2 cup cold water; set aside at room temp. Mix and bake cake, as directed on box, in a 13x9x2" pan. Cool 20-25 minutes. Poke deep holes thru top of warm cake (still in pan) with fork. Slowly pour gelitin mixture into holes. Refrigerate cake while preparing topping.

Cake may be stored in refrigerator and served chilled. Frosted cake may be frozen. It gets better the longer it stays in the refrigerator

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons and limes: Fresh citrus fruits provide the best flavor and aroma for this cake. If you don't have fresh lemons and limes, you can use bottled lemon and lime juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is done baking. If you insert a toothpick and it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: Once the cake is frosted, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring the cake to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

This cool lemon-lime sheet cake is a refreshing and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
