I personally think the lemon cake mix taste artificial. I prefer to use a white cake mix and add lemon zest, lemon juice and lemon extract. I use the lemon juice (whatever I get from the lemon) and put that in my measuring cup before liquid of choice. I prefer to use water over milk.

I agree that the lemon cake mixes don't taste like real lemon. I, too, use juice, extract, and zest.
If you use lemon juice, DON'T put milk in the same measuring cup--it'll curdle your milk into nasty little clumps! 
Most of the time I prefer using milk instead of water when making a cake mix. I have also used buttermilk or evaporated milk instead of water.

killer lemon recipe--trust me, it is lemon extreme!!!
box lemon cake mix--follow the box directions except...
replace all water with thawed lemon juice concentrate
add box of lemon instant pudding
add 2 extra eggs
you can also use the concentrate to thin and flavor bc
TO DIE FOR!!!
I recently made Ina Garten's (the Barefoot Contessa) recipe for a lemon cake. It was completely from scratch, but so worth it. My husband loved it! It didn't take long to make and it came out light and fluffy! I didn't use the syrup wash she suggests, it really doesn't need it.
If you have the time, give it a try.
