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 (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan or a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon cake mix, lemon pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, water, and lemon zest.

  • Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes for a Bundt pan, or 30–35 minutes for a 9×13 pan, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  • While the cake bakes, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice for the glaze.

  • Once the cake has cooled for 10 minutes, poke holes in it and slowly pour the glaze over the warm cake.

  • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • The cake can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.

  • To enhance flavor, you can add lime zest or extra lemon zest to the batter.

  • If you prefer a richer glaze, try adding cream cheese to the lemon glaze.

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the cake mix with a gluten-free lemon cake mix.
