I didn't care for these very much... and around here it's hard to find the box-size cake that it calls for!

Lemon Angel Crunch Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350®F. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into ungreased Rectangular Baker, spreading evenly.

3. Juice lemons using Juicer; set juice aside. Using Nylon Fork or metal skewer, poke holes in cake about 11/2 inches deep and 1/2 inch apart. In Small Micro-Cooker®, microwave water on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until boiling. Add gelatin to water; stir 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Stir in 1/4 cup of the lemon juice.

Mini Glazed Lemon Cakes Tip:
Just double the recipe and use a regular sized cake box. Also use the Silicone floral cupcake pan.... and bake them @350 for 15 min.. They taste alot better that way-meryl
 
Heavenly Lemon Angel Cake is very simular to the crunch one, except for less steps! I use to make this a lot in the first couple of years of my business, I got great feedback from the guests!
It can be found in the All The Best Cookbook on page 119!
I use to bake the cake at my house, the night before or, if a evening show, I would bake it in the morning and then I'd take it to the show and it would be very simple to put together. I also use to do it as the first thing because it takes 30 minutes to set the glaze!
So yummy! Good luck!:chef: :)
 
Warning -- when using Lemon Zest, be careful not to "pith people off!! ";)

The cake mix size is right in the Jiff brand, if that helps.
 
Pink Lemonade Dessert Squares

Crust:
1 ¼ c finely crushed mini-twist pretzels (about 2 ½ c pretzels)
½ c (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
1 tbsp water
¼ c sugar

Filling:


1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
¾ c thawed, frozen pink lemonade concentrate
1 lemon
5-6 drops red food coloring (optional)
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 pkg (3.3 oz) white chocolate instant pudding and pie filling

Quartered lemon slices (optional)



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For crust, finely crush pretzels in resealable plastic food storage bag with Meat Tenderizer or Baker's Roller. Place butter in Small Micro Cooker; microwave on high 30-60 seconds or until melted Add water to melted butter. In Small Batter Bowl, combine crushed pretzels and sugar; mix well. Add
butter mixture to crumb mixture; mix well and press over bottom of Medium Bar Pan. Bake 12 minutes. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely.



For filling, place cream cheese in Classic Batter Bowl; microwave on high 30 seconds or until softened. Whisk cream cheese until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Gradually add lemonade concentrate, mixing well after each addition, until well blended. Zest entire emon using Lemon Zester/Scorer; finely snip zest using Kitchen
Shears. Add lemon zest and food coloring, if desired, to cream cheese mixture. Attach open star tip to Easy Accent Decorator; fill with 1 c of the whipped topping and set aside for garnish. Add pudding mix to cream cheese mixture; whisk until well incorporated (mixture will be thick). Fold in remaining whipped topping using Classic Scraper. Using Large Spreader, spread filling evenly over crust. Pipe 15 rosettes over dessert. If desired, garnish each rosette with one lemon slice.



Refrigerate at least 30 min or until ready to serve. Cut into squares using Utility Knife; serve using Mini Serving Spatula.

Cook's Tips:
If desired, this recipe can be doubled and prepared in the Stoneware Bar Pan. Use Stainless (4-qt) Mixing Bowl to mix filling. I've found that you don't need to double the pudding, however. It has plenty of flavor without doubling.
