I put the juice of one lemon and added water to make up the 3/4 cup of water. I also added the zest of one lemon. Delicious

Very good lemon cake, but didn't rise very much. I used one box of Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme Cake Mix and one box of Jell-o Lemon Pudding. I also used coconut oil as my oil and added 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract. The cake did not rise much. It was only about 2 1/2 inches high. However, I live at 5,000 feet elevation and this does affect baking. Still, the cake was not dense or heavy. After cooling, I split the cake to make two layers, spread raspberry jam and a bit of lemon buttercream frosting for the filling. Then frosted the entire assembled w/lemon buttercream. These modifications resulted in a very moist and flavorful cake. I would absolutely make this cake again and would serve to company. Certainly doesn't taste like a cake mix.
