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
- ⅓ 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
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.
