This recipe was "stolen" from Ya Ya Cindy. This is her son's favorite cake. If I don't add it here I'll end up forgetting where it is ;)
Ingredients:
1pkg lemon cake mix
1pkg instant lemon pudding
4 eggs
3/4 cup oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup water
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease cake pan. (I use a bundt pan. But, have prepared in a 9 x 13 pan as well.)
2. Place the cake ingredients into your mixer. Mix on cake setting for approximately two minutes. I watch the color of the mixture. When it turns a creamy yellow color, I know it's done.
3. Turn cake mixture into greased pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Test for doneness. (If you use a different type of pan, refer to baking directions on cake mix box.)
4. Let cool in bundt pan for about 15 minutes. Use a knife to release sides of center of cake. Turn out onto cake plate.
5. Pierce top of cake several times with a fork, or skewar. Pour glaze (recipe to follow) over top of cake.
Glaze Ingredients:
Powdered Sugar
Lemon Juice
I usually use about 1 pound of powdered sugar, and add just enough lemon juice to make a very thick glaze. Since you will be glazing the cake while it is still warm, if you make the glaze to runny, it will slide off the cake.
