This Lemon Cake is truly to die for—it’s moist, full of tangy lemon flavor, and topped with a luscious glaze that seeps into every bite. Whether you’re serving it at a gathering or simply indulging yourself, this cake is sure to impress and satisfy any sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 small box of instant lemon pudding mix
- ¾ cup of oil
- ¾ cup of water
- 4 eggs, beaten
For the Glaze:
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 2 tablespoons of water
- ⅓ cup of lemon juice
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, yellow cake mix, instant lemon pudding mix, oil, and water. Mix until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water. Add the melted butter and stir until the glaze is smooth and well blended.
- Glaze the Cake: Once the cake has cooled slightly, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface of the cake. Pour the lemon glaze evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes and coats the surface.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. The glaze will soak into the cake, creating a moist, flavorful dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of lemon flavor, zest one lemon and add it to the cake batter before baking.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of water slightly or add more powdered sugar until you reach the desired consistency.
