My grandmother used a recipe similar to this. She substituted two Tablespoons of lemon juice for 2 T. of water and then drizzled a lemon juice and powdered sugar glaze on top of it. Yummy.
Surprisingly enough with the lemon cake mix and lemon pudding this cake did not have the lemon flavor I was looking for nor was it dense like pound cake. It was okay nothing special and I probably won't make it again.
I do not like lemon anything..any way, any shape, any form. Until I tasted this cake. I needed something in a hurry for a group of veterans and decided this would be different. When everyone went nuts over it, I decided to take just a bite. Needless to say it has become a favorite. I did use only 2 eggs, and just dusted it with sifted powder sugar. Very refreshing cake. Just plain good.
This is the Duncan Hines pound cake recipe I have been using for years. Try adding a tub of lemon icing in the bottom of a bundt pan and then pouring your cake batter on top of that. Then when it's done let it cool and drizzle lemon topping. Talk about a treat!
Another wonderful cake that starts life in a box... I did change this recipe a little as I only had Vanilla Instant pudding mix and was worried by using this I would not have much of a lemon flavor. I added 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and also a teaspoon of lemon extract. As always I used applesauce in place of the oil. Baked for 60 minutes and the cake was cooked to perfection. I just loved the moist lemon taste great recipe that you can throw together in a few minutes. No once would honestly think this came out of a box!!!
I topped this with an orange juice / confectioners sugar glaze and filled the center of the cake with fresh blackberries and raspberries. Delicious!
I used this recipe to make mini pound cakes and they came out perfect. I will use this recipe again.
I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. Added lemon zest the second time around for added lemon flavor. Had a co-worker tell me it tasted like her grandmother's pound cake. Not too heavy not too light. Satisfying and extremely easy not to mention quick.
I was trying to duplicate an incredibly moist lemon cake I had gotten at a bake sale but this one was pretty mediocre - not much different than making the lemon cake mix as directed.
