Oct 20, 2019

Nancy Lee and Me - Lemon Jell-O Cake

Lemon Jell-O Cake – This is another of our family favorites.

Origin of Jell-O

The original gelatin dessert began in Le Roy, New York, in 1897, when Pearle Bixby Wait trademarked the name Jell-O. He and his wife May had made the product by adding strawberry, raspberry, orange, and lemon flavoring to sugar and granulated gelatin (which had been patented in 1845).

Crazy Chocolate Cake – One of our favorite recipes. Especially great if you don’t have any eggs and want to make a cake.
