Equipment

  • 13 X 9 inch baking dish

Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3.4 oz lemon pudding mix
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp water

Whipped Cream Topping:

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a 13X9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl beat eggs until frothy. Add cake mix, pudding mix, water and oil. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While cake is baking, prepare the glaze.
  • Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, melted butter and water.
  • Stir until all lumps are gone.
  • Once cake is baked and still hot, use a skewer and poke holes all over the cake.
  • Slowly pour glaze evenly over the cake allowing the glaze to soak into the cake.

Make Whipped Topping:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to whip together heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  • Once cake has cooled completely, either frost the top of the entire cake with the whipped cream or serve each piece of lemon cake with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
  • This cake is moist and flavorful even without frosting but it can be served with whipped cream if desired for a fancier presentation.
