This recipe is one of those recipes you’ll find in your mother’s cookbook. My mom used to have subscriptions for cookbooks. They’re sent to our house, and I always find myself browsing through them. I remembered seeing a lemon cake recipe. Now, my mom gets all her new recipes online, and dishes from the past get their well-deserved makeover!

INGREDIENTS :

• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 package yellow cake mix
• ⅓ c. lemon juice (need 1.5 lemons)
• 1 c. orange juice
• 1 package instant lemon pudding
• ½ c. vegetable oil
• 1 ½ c. confectioner’s sugar

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Grease and flour the Angel food cake pan.

Step 3: Combine the yellow cake mix with oil, orange juice, and instant pudding. Add the eggs a piece at a time, beating every after each addition. Into the prepared pan, evenly spread the batter.

Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cook for about 10 minutes in the pan.

Step 5: In the meantime, whisk the confectioner’s sugar, melted butter, and lemon juice until well mixed.

Step 6: Using a toothpick, poke holes in the cake, then pour the glaze over.

NOTE:

Before mixing the powdered sugar with the butter and lemon, make sure to strain the lumps using a strainer to prevent the glaze from being lumpy.
