• Two lemons, one whole and one sliced  in half

        1  package (18-1/4 oz)  white cake mix
        1  package (3 oz) lemon gelatin
        1  cup plus 2 tablespoons water
        4  egg whites
    1/3  cup unsweetened applesauce
        1  tablespoon canola oil
        1  teaspoon lemon extract
        4  drops yellow food coloring, optional
    LEMON GLAZE:
    1-1/2  cups confectioners’ sugar
        1/3  cup lemon juice

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, gelatin, water, egg whites, applesauce, oil, lemon extract and food coloring if desired.  Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.  Pour into a 13×9x2 inch baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.  Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
       Meanwhile, for glaze, in a bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth.  Drizzle about a third of glaze over cake; carefully spread evenly.  Repeat with remaining glaze.  Cool completely.
    Yield: 15 servings.
