This is kinda tart but I really liked it. Might be better with a little powdered sugar on top and ice cream on the side. Anyway I ain't much on sweets but I loved this. I repaired an air conditoner for a woman I work with and she made this for me, thought I'd share it with you guys. Let me know how it turns out. Mark

Well, Greg, you made laugh good . It'so true. My parents never gave a thought to what would make us kids fat, just what would fill us up and get us outta the house! Thanks for the laugh.

Back when we were young, we probably had a couple pieces of that

cake, then went outside to play......burned off some or all those

calories.

Now they just walk over to the computer or tv and sit down to play games.

No exercise.

Did someone say CAKE!

Yesterday was my birthday so I made this cake. I like lime better than lemon, and you can sometimes buy a lemon cake but never a lime one, and most mixes and store-bought cakes are too sweet and too bland for my taste. So I substituted lime jello and limeade along with a lemon cake mix. Here's my review.

- I needed to add a little more water (my mix called for 1.25 cups water and 3 eggs), I used 4 eggs and about a cup of water - I added some ice cubes to the melted jello to get it cool quickly, and had to add a little more water to the mix as well.

- Adding sugar to the limeade concentrate seemed to be almost overkill - it wouldn't dissolve any more sugar, so some sugar went on the cake in slurry form.

- The recipe does not say what size can of lemonade to use, I used a 12 oz can of limeade.

It came out light green (due to the jello) and tasty. As described, quite tart, but it has so much sugar in it (cake, jello, limeade+ sugar) that it's not bad. If I had a blowtorch in the kitchen I might melt some sugar on the top for a slightly crunchy topping - the edges are the best tasting part to me.

So now I have to get rid of it without getting too fat, it's loaded with calories... I'm giving some of it to my neighbors and such. We will survive...
