This is a moist lemony cake. It is called a poke cake because you poke holes in it to absorb the glaze. If you want, you can serve this with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

Ingredients

1 (15.25) package yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
¾ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
⅓ cup lemon juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
To make the cake: Stir cake mix and instant pudding together in a large bowl. Add water, oil, and eggs; mix until smooth and well blended. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. While cake is still hot, poke holes in the top with a fork.
To make the glaze: Mix lemon juice and confectioners sugar together in a small bowl until smooth; pour over hot cake and allow to seep into the holes. Let cake cool completely before serving.
