Luscious Lemon Cake

When life hands you lemons.........

Esp. the biggest, juiciest, prettiest lemons...

You simply MUST bake desserts!!!

 

These suckers were HUGE! Like the size of my hand!

 

So, I took a try at candied lemon slices.

 

 

 

 

Notice the new pot??!

 

 

 

Then you make this luscious, gorgeous cake! Isn't she a bute??

 

 

The candied slices were supposed to go on top. I never could get the bitter taste out, so I tossed them. This was dessert for our family Christmas dinner. It lasted 2 minutes. Literally.

 

Cake:

1 package lemon cake mix (I used Duncan Hines, Lemon Supreme)
1 package instant lemon pudding mix
3/4 cup water (I did 1/2 water and 1/4 lemon juice, we like the tang!)
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs

Mix well. Beat four minutes.
Pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes in 350 degrees F oven.
Pour powdered sugar glaze over top while warm.

 

Lemon glaze:

2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

In a medium bowl, whisk all glaze ingredients to combine. If necessary, add additional confectioners' sugar to desired consistency.
