Glazed Lemon Cake






This is from the recipe in the Our Best Bites cook book. I don't believe in buying cookbooks anymore (esp. when you have Pinterest!) but this was a good choice. Part of Samantha's amazing feast. 

1 box yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) box lemon instant pudding
3/4 c. milk
2/3 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
6 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3 c. powdered sugar
whipped cream for serving

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray and set aside.  Ignore ingredients on cake mix and pudding boxes. Combine dry cake mix, dry pudding mix, milk, oil and eggs. Beat 30 seconds on low speed, scrape edges of bowl and beat 2 minutes on medium high speed. Pour into the cake pan and bake according to cake mix box instructions, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

When cake is almost finished baking, combine melted butter, lemon juice and powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. When cake is baked, use a skewer or a large fork to poke holes all over hot cake. Pour glaze over cake and let soak into holes. if desired, reserve a small amount of glaze to drizzle over finished pieces of cake. Let cool and serve with whipped cream (optional).
