Lemon Pound Cake

/

So I was folding laundry the other evening and Keeping up with the Kardashians were on the TV (don't ask) and they were having this controversy over a lemon cake that apparently the family thought was homemade but came from a box. Fast forward a few days later and I see this post on Facebook for the "Famous" Kris Jenner Lemon Cake recipe (from a box) and decided to take a look.   I needed to take a cake to work for a holiday lunch and since I love lemon cake I thought why not, it is a super easy recipe.  I whipped one up on Saturday to try it out and all I and Guy could say was OMG!!! This is one fantastic cake.   I then proceeded to make a second one as we were devouring the first :) Here is the recipe straight from the Duncan Hines website (hahaha):

Ingredients:

  • 1 package Duncan Hines® Signature Lemon Supreme Cake Mix

  • 1 (3.4 oz.) package instant lemon pudding and pie filling

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup water

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 10-inch Bundt® or tube pan.

  • Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water and oil in large bowl.

  • Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan (I used a bundt pan)

  • Bake 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

  • Cool cake on wire rack for 25 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely.

  • Dust with sifted confectioner’s sugar.

  • Baking Tip: Glazed Lemon Pound Cake: Place ½ cup Duncan Hines® Creamy Home- Style Classic Vanilla Frosting in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High 10 to 15 seconds; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cake.

And the cake? It was a huge win at work.  Lots of requests for the recipe and no one could believe it was from a box either.  Definitely will be a go to when I need a cake for an event!
