Description

This Lemon Cake is incredibly moist and bursting with fresh lemon flavor. Made with a yellow cake mix, lemon pudding, and a tangy lemon glaze that soaks into the cake, it’s easy to make and perfect for any gathering. This cake is a crowd-pleaser for lemon lovers!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 small box (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for added depth)

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.

  2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the yellow cake mix, lemon pudding mix, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and lump-free.

  3. Bake the Cake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  4. Prepare the Lemon Glaze:

    • While the cake bakes, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, melted butter, and water in a bowl. Stir until smooth and slightly runny.

  5. Glaze the Cake:

    • Once the cake is out of the oven, poke holes all over the top with a fork or the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour the lemon glaze evenly over the warm cake, letting it seep into the holes for added flavor.

  6. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the cake cool completely in the pan, allowing the glaze to set. Slice and serve at room temperature.

Notes

  • Storage: Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Variations: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for extra zestiness or serve with fresh berries for a summery touch.
  • Tip: For even more intense lemon flavor, replace the water in the glaze with additional lemon juice.
