This is my "signature" cake"..I've made it under all sorts of
circumstances including a gas cooker in London that went down in the
middle of baking...also in high altitude when I neglected to follow
those specific directions...EVen the "shell" was devoured and no one
even noticed! This cake is a winner....the changes to lower the fat
are in (). Because I'm starting with the mix, there is already a
certain amount of fat, but it's not too bad.) * use any kind of cake
mix without the pudding in it. Use less oil if you wish--1/8 to 1/4
cup. Beat together ( use a food processor or a hand mixer or anything
that's handy)....until batter is smooth. Put batter into bundt pan
sprayed with PAM ** OR, fill 4-6 pint size greased Mason jars 1/2
full.   Bake for 45 minutes at 350. Every oven is different, so you
may bake longer or shorter. I've only made the jars once and I baked  2
jars along with a small bundt pan. It took the normal time. With  the
jars only, I would test at 35 minutes. (I used one of those  bamboo
thin skewers - it's like a long toothpick! I thought I was so  clever!)
You'll see the cake rising and turning brown and it pulls  away a
little from the sides of the jar. With the regular cake I do  the
following: Turn out of the pan immediately onto the serving  plate.
(Don't, of course, take the cakes out of the jars!) Poke holes  in the
cake with a fork (in the jar) spoon over the following  "icing": 1 1/2
c. powdered sugar (or any amount you want) grated  lemon rind (in
proportion to sugar) Lemon juice to make "runny"  consistency. It
should drip from the spoon. Spoon it right over the  tops of the cakes
in the jar - or over the bundt cake shape. Put the  lids on and screw
down the rings. Everything worked fine. I tasted  one of them after a
few days...naturally! The cake was delicious and  didn't lose any of
its flavor with the substitutions. This cake is  always a hit, and SO
easy to make. It takes exactly one hour from  start to finish! Ronda
