Ingredients:
- 1 Lemon Cake Mix
- 1 small box Instant Lemon Pudding
- 1 jar Lemon Frosting
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- ½ cup Vegetable Oil
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- Lemon Zest
Baking Instructions:
Combine all ingredients, except frosting, in a large bowl and stir until the batter is nice and smooth.
Grease and flour a bundt cake pan and pour the cake batter into the pan.
Bake the cake in the oven according to the cake mix box instructions.
Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
I like to place a wire rack on top of the cake, turn the cake over, and then lift the pan up and off the cake.
Icing Instructions:
The icing is store-bought as well.
Open the container of frosting, and remove the seal.
Then place the frosting in the microwave and heat for about 30 seconds.
Stir the frosting with a spoon to smooth any clumps, and drizzle over the top of the lemon cake.
Let the cake sit for 5 to 10 minutes to let the frosting thicken.
The Lemon Bundt Cake is then ready to cut and serve.
Variations:
Want to try other flavored bundt cakes? This recipe works great! Simply omit the lemon zest and juice. Then trade out the flavor of the cake mix and frosting, and you'll have another delicious cake!
- Banana Cream - combine a White Cake Mix, Banana Cream Pudding, and Vanilla Frosting.

I used this same recipe to create a Pumpkin Bundt Cake and it was a hit!

Our Baking Essential List
- We use Glass Baking Dishes for baking casseroles. I especially like the dishes with lids because leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
- Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
- A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
- This Knife Set will also become your favorite! The knives cut beautifully, and the hollow design prevents food from sticking to the blade.

I don’t see the directions on how to make the cake. Does the lemon juice go in the cake mixture or to be drizzled on after the cake is baked?
Frustrating and moving on to another recipe!

I do apologize that you find the post confusing. The post is the recipe and the steps to create the dessert. It is a family favorite, you really should try it out!!

How would i adjust baking time for mini bundts?
Thanks!
Katie Adams
I would stay close with a watchful eye but I think you could Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
