Recipe By: Lemons: A Country Garden

Ingredients:

1 box Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme cake mix
1 box instant lemon pudding — 3 ½ oz
4 large eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1/3 cup canola oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 cup confectioner’s sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. In bowl of electric mixer, blend cake mix and instant pudding and set aside. In measuring cup, add lemon juice and enough cold water to make 1 cup. Add eggs, lemon juice, water, and lemon extract to cake mixture and combine. Pour in oil and beat at medium speed for 6 minutes or until smooth. Lightly oil a Bundt pan, pour in mixture and bake 45 minutes or until top is golden and cake is springy to the touch.
