Pre heat oven to 350 degrees
• 1lemon cake mix (I use Betty Crocker Delights Super Moist cake mix with pudding in the mix and I still add a pkg of pudding.)
• 1 small pkg instant lemon or vanilla pudding:
Put in a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 eggs
Put in medium bowl and mix the wet ingredients with mixer, and then add it to the cake mix, blend together. Then beat for two minutes. Pour into greased (I use pan spray).
Bake for 38-43 minutes (until tooth pick come out clean).
Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan onto a cooling rack. Cool completely.
I use a lemon frosting mix, and divide it in 2/3 cup portions and put in zip lock baggies. I warm it in the microwave, 15 seconds. Then drizzle over cake.
Wait a few minutes until the glaze sets before serving.
I freeze the remaining frosting for the next cake.
You can also use a simple glaze:
Ingredients
• 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar

• in a large Pyrex measuring cup, combine sugar, lemon and zest.
• add the butter and microwave 45 seconds
• take cup out and whisk with a spoon, making sure there are no lumps.
• let sit for a few minutes then drizzle over cake.
