I think if you used lemon jello instant pudding (as opposed to the
jello), and sub 1/2 cup coconut milk (or lemon juice) for the 1/2 cup
of water, then also add some lemon zest, that may jazz it up. Also,
make a glaze of lemon juice and confectioners sugar--poke holes in the
cake and pour glaze over the cake while still warm.
