This was a favorite recipe in our house, given to my Mom from her best friend, Peggy Wall. They used to be school bus drivers together, and this recipe was a tried and true favorite at every bus driver potluck that I can remember...My Nana loved this recipe too, and gave out this recipe many times herself...Very simple to make, but packed with a perfect blend of sweet & tart lemony flavor!
Ingredients:
1 (18 ounce) box white cake mix (i prefer duncan hines)
1 (3 ounce) box lemon jell-o gelatin

1 teaspoon lemon extract
