Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 box lemon cake mix
1 package (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1/2 cup water
Zest of 2 lemons
For the Lemon Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, mix together the lemon cake mix, instant lemon pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, water, and lemon zest.
Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Lemon Glaze:
While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or lemon juice if necessary.
Glaze the Cake:
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.
While still warm, pour the lemon glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak into the cake for extra moisture and flavor.
Serve and Enjoy:
Let the cake cool completely before serving, or enjoy it warm with a cup of tea or coffee!
