Lemon Cake!
I was in the mood to have something sweet following dinner. So, I looked through the cupboards to see what I could come up with......I had everything I needed to make one of our family's favorites; Lemon Cake. I found the recipe on-line a couple of years ago. You can find the original recipe by following the link. I don't make the icing they recommend and instead do a simple glaze. Below is my version of their cake:
Heather's Version Light Lemon Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Spray bundt pan with cooking spray and lightly flour
Ingredients:
1 box Yellow Cake Mix (I use Duncan Hines)
1 box Instant Lemon Pudding (I use Jello brand)
1 3/4 Cup water
2 Egg whites
Mix ingredients in large bowl on low for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 40 - 50 min. or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 10 - 15 min. and carefully remove from pan. Let cool completely.
Glaze:
1 1/2 - 2 C Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons of lemon extract OR fresh lemon juice (more or less to suit your taste)
1 Tablespoon of water
Wisk glaze ingredients together until you get a good drizzle consistency. If too stiff, add a little more water. If too runny, add a little more powdered sugar. Once the cake is cooled, drizzle glaze over cake.
YUM!
