Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer (or whisk)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 9×13 inch baking pan
- Spatula
- Small bowl for glaze
- Wire rack
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 15.25 oz box lemon cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 3.4 oz package instant lemon pudding mix (instant, not “cook and serve”)
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp lemon zest
For the Glaze:
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by either greasing it well or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, water, vegetable oil, and fresh lemon juice. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Next, add the lemon cake mix, instant lemon pudding mix, and lemon zest to the wet ingredients. Mix everything together on low speed with a hand or electric mixer until the batter is completely smooth and uniform.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- When the cake is still slightly warm, pour the glaze evenly over the top, letting it soak in a bit. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
