Equipment

Ingredients

Cake

  • 15.25 ounces Lemon Cake Mix 1 box, (I used Duncan Hines brand)
  • 3.4 ounces Instant lemon pudding mix 1 box
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons lemon juice (add more or less, depending on how thick or thin you like your glaze)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour 2 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
  • Combine all cake ingredients in a large bowl and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour half of the batter into each of the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool in loaf pan for about 30 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool completely.
  • Mix together glaze ingredients and drizzle over the top of the cake.
  • Cut into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • We like to use fresh lemon juice in this recipe. But bottled lemon juice works great too.
