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
  • â…“ 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!
