Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Lemon Cake Mix
  • 1 3.4 oz box Instant Lemon Pudding or lemon Jell-o mix
  • 2 Egg
  • 2 Egg White
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Light Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • zest of one Lemon
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Heavy Cream or milk
  • Lemon Zest for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a large bundt pan with Crisco and coat it with flour. Do not skip this step, it is important to help the cake release from the pan!
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Mix all together until they are well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for 48-52 minutes. Note that baking times will vary by oven and pan type. To test the cake for doneness, insert a knife into the cake, if the knife comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Allow the cake to cool for at least 15-20 minutes and gently run a knife around the edges of the pan to help release the cake from the sides of the pan. Turn the cake onto a pan by placing the pan on the top of the cake and use two hands to invert it. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  • For the glaze: In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  • Add the powdered sugar and lemon juice with one tablespoon of heavy cream. Start stirring to combine the ingredients.
  • Slowly add the additional heavy cream (or milk) a half tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. You want the glaze to run off your spoon but still be thick enough for the slow drip.
  • Pour the glaze over the bundt cake and garnish with lemon zest. Store covered in an airtight container.
