Yield: 12
Materials
For the Cake:
- - 1 box of yellow cake mix
- - 1 small box of instant lemon pudding mix
- - ¾ cup oil
- - ¾ cup water
- - 4 eggs beaten
For the Glaze:
- - 2 cups powdered sugar
- - 2 tablespoons melted butter
- - 2 tablespoons water
- - ⅓ cup lemon juice
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake:
- - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- - In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the cake mix, lemon pudding mix, oil, and water. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
2. Prepare the Glaze:
- - While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, mix the powdered sugar, melted butter, water, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
3. Glaze the Cake:
- - Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven. While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly across the surface of the cake.
- - Pour the glaze over the warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes and covers the entire surface.
4. Serve:
- - Allow the cake to cool and the glaze to set. Slice and serve.
