Lemon Bundt Cake
Description
The Lemon Bundt Cake blends a lemon cake mix with instant lemon pudding mix, eggs, oil, and fresh lemon juice to create a moist and flavorful dessert. Baking in a Bundt pan develops a golden crust and ensures even cooking. The lemon glaze, composed of sifted confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla, is poured over the cooled cake, adding a glossy layer of sweet citrus glaze. The cake benefits from resting as its flavors meld and the texture sets, making it suitable to prepare a day ahead. This dessert showcases a balance between citrus tang and sweetness, with a soft crumb enriched by pudding addition.
Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE
- 1 (15.25 ounce) lemon cake mix box
- 1 (3.4 ounce) instant lemon pudding mix just the dry mix -- not prepared into pudding
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ cup lemon freshly squeezed juice
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 large egg
FOR THE GLAZE
- 1 ¼ cups confectioners' sugar sifted
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon freshly squeezed juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a Bundt cake pan or spray with nonstick baking spray. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat together the cake mix, dry pudding mix, water, lemon juice, oil and eggs for about 2 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan; tap on the counter once or twice to release air bubbles. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and the vanilla extract until a thick, pourable glaze comes together. If the glaze seems too thick, add more lemon juice, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. If the glaze is too thin, gradually add more confectioners' sugar.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
- Once the glaze sets, slice the cake and serve!
Notes
- This cake improves in flavor and texture if prepared a day before serving.
