    Lemon Cake To Die For

    I really like the fresh lemon flavor in food. If you are a fan of lemon too, you should make this magical lemon cake with a citrus flavor and a soft moist texture. Using a boxed cake mix and instant pudding mix makes this cake really easy to prepare, and it’s so delicious! Usually, I bake this lemon cake in the winter when my sister comes over for the Christmas holidays. We both don’t like dry cakes. So, I prepare this lemon cake in advance.

    I leave it overnight in the refrigerator, and it gets even better, softer with a rich taste. If you like citrus flavor, this recipe is waiting for you.

    TIPS FOR BAKING THE PERFECT LEMON CAKE

    1. Make a soaking syrup while the cake is baking, or make it in advance. For a tastier result, the cake should be warm when we pour syrup over it.
    2. You can use a smaller baking pan if you don’t have a 9×13 pan. So, the baking time will be longer than 30-35 mins, and the cake will be done when a toothpick inserted into the cake will come out clean.
    3. For better results, let the cake cool completely at room temperature, and then refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

    What does lemon juice do in baking?

    We use lemon juice to make soaking syrup in this recipe. It is used to give a special lemon taste to the cake.

    How do you store lemon cake?

    I keep the cake in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

    Ingredients

    • For the cake
    • 1 box of yellow cake mix (15.25 oz);

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9×13 baking pan.
    • Beat eggs in a large bowl, using an electric mixer. Add cake mix, pudding mix, water, and oil, and mix until well combined.
    • Pour the cake batter into a baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 mins, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. While the cake is baking, you can prepare a syrup.
    • To make soaking syrup: in a bowl, combine melted butter, lemon juice, water, and powdered sugar.
    • When the cake is done, poke holes all over the cake with a skewer (or a fork), then pour the soaking syrup over the warm cake. Let it cool completely in a pan before serving.
