I used my white cake recipe to make it into a lemon cake. I do not like the fruit cake flavors in the mixes, because to me it just tastes too much like the candy artificial flavoring than the fruit itself. I also needed a lighter lemon cake to pair with a lemon fruit filling and lemon buttercream. The cake turned out great and you can taste the real lemon which is what I wanted.
Ingredients
- 1 box DH white cake mix (this is my brand preference)
- 1 box of lemon instant pudding mix (the small box)
- 1/2 tsp of pure lemon extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup of oil
- 1/2 cup of water (I squeezed the lemon to get all the juice and added water to make it 1/2 cup)
Instructions
-
Mix cake mix, pudding, water/lemon juice mix, oil, sour cream, eggs, extract and zest for 30 seconds on low and 2 minutes on medium. Bake as you normally would. I like to bake my cakes at 325.
Is this enough for two 10" round pans or what will this cake make???
would it be dense enough for a top tier of a wedding cake? she wants a lemon cake with blueberry filling....? Thanks!
I tried this and it is awesome!! It isn't so overbearing that you can't eat it. I put it with a blueberry filling and lemon BC icing, Big hit!!
This is wonderful! Everyone absolutely loved it! I used a creamy raspberry filling and BC. Yum!
I made this for the first time this last weekend, and I absolutely loved it. I used this recipe as one of the flavors for my boyfriend's parent's anniversary party -- used a raspberry filling/swirl. Everyone really liked it; it was very flavorful but not overpowering. Even those that weren't big fans of lemon liked it. I plan on keeping this one.
This was good I made cupcakes...about 26. We loved them!! Thanks for recipe.
I made this cake for a friend for her birthday and everyone loved it. Only problem is now everyone is requesting it. 5 stars
Made cupcakes as a test run for a birthday cake. Flavor was wonderful-not too strong. Will definitely use again!
Flavor was wonderful, but the cakes fell. Went from nice and high to the texture of a poundcake. Followed the directions carefully. Anyone else have the cake fall?
Is this made with the 18.25 oz cake mix or the smaller 15 or 16 oz box that is available now?
