Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
- 1 box (approximately 3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, instant lemon pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 3
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 5
While the cake cools, prepare the lemon pudding topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and the second box of instant lemon pudding mix for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to set.
Step 6
Once the cake has cooled, spread the prepared lemon pudding evenly over the top of the cake.
Step 7
Sprinkle the powdered sugar evenly over the pudding layer using a small sieve or sifter.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly grated lemon zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Step 9
Optional: Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Step 10
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
