This cake was awesome!!so good I’m  making it again for my family

could you use  scratch made whipping cream in   place of whipped topping

I wonder if you could do it this in Key Lime?

I’m currently stirring the jello.....do I pour it over while it’s hot or let it cool?

I love anything lemon &amp; poke cake is a plus. I will make this in a bundt pan &amp; poke almost thru, then pour jello over it, refrigerate until set then release cake from pan Do you think this will release from pan cleanly?

Looks to me like this would only yield one serving.  For me.  Yummo
