Gelatin Cake or ‘Cool Summer Lemon Cake’
Gelatin Cake or ‘Cool Summer Lemon Cake’
Grandma had submitted this recipe for 2 different cookbooks; one was for her church and the other for the ‘Food Iowa Cooks’ Cookbook. I felt she must have thought highly of this recipe, even though I do not remember her making this cake. I tried the recipe, and it is very good. I do think the name needs to be changed from Gelatin Cake to… ‘Cool Summer Lemon Cake’.
