I have a lemon cake recipe, using a cake mix, that has a box of lemon jello added to it. I want to "trick" it up a bit more, so I was wondering if I could add lemon rind also to the cake mix.....Does anybody know if this will work?? Or will the rind do something with the chemistry of the cake mix??

Not sure about using lemon ring in the mix, but I did buy a Pillsbury White mix(I think thats the right brand).

And it had a suggestion on there to use 1 cup frozen lemonade concentrate (unthawed). It was great, brought it in to work and everyone loved it. It was not over-powering with lemon flavor.

So this may work with the lemon mix to kick it up a bit.

Hope that helps and gl

I add lemon zest and orange zest to white cake mix all the time with no problems

Hey Thanks

I squeeze some fresh lemon juice and lemon juice to a lemon or white cake mix. (I also do orange, haven't tried lime yet) To compensate for the extra liquid I add some cake flour.

For a little more lemony flavor, squeeze some lemon juice and lemon zest to the buttercreme frosting - HUGE HIT! I used to work in a factory cafeteria and made these kind of cakes all the time and I would sell out before the lunch hour was hour. (We're talking - Full sheet cake size cakes)

I love to see what I can add to cakes to "enhance" them. My cakes are always a surprise.
