If you’re tired of winter and anticipating spring, you may want to make an easy cake especially for lemon lovers: Lovely Lemon Cream Cake. Although it starts with a lemon cake mix and lemon pudding mix, it doesn’t taste like it; actually it tastes just like a scratch cake. The tart lemon glaze is poured over the warm cake and makes the cake not only tart, but especially moist. Sweetened whipped cream covers the top of the cake and it tastes just like springtime.

Store this cake in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap.

24 Servings

Cake:
1 15.25 ounce lemon cake mix
1 3.4 oz. package lemon instant pudding mix
1/2 cup softened butter
4 eggs
3/4 cup water

Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice

Topping:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9" x 13" shallow baking dish with non-stick spray with flour (such as Baker's Joy).
2. Mix the cake mix, pudding mix, butter, eggs, and water until smooth. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake 35-40 minutes or until the cake is set, golden brown, and pulls away from the sides.
3. Cake: Using a large fork, poke holes over the surface of the cake. Mix the glaze ingredients; pour over the cake. Let cool thoroughly.
4. Make the topping: whip the cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cooled cake. Chill thoroughly and store in the refrigerator.
