Ingredients

    Cake
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 5.1 ounce instant or cook and serve Lemon pudding mix (can be replaced with instant vanilla pudding & 2 tsp lemon emulsion)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs (Here's an easy way to keep egg shells out of your recipe)
  • 1/2 cup milk (for a non-dairy alternative try Silk soy milk used by Disney)
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 2-3 lemons)
  • Lemon Icing
  • 1/2 stick butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp lemon emulsion/extract

Instructions

  3. Set aside.
  4. Combine all the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
  5. Place all dry ingredients in a bowl, add about 1 cup of wet ingredients, beat with a mixer on low speed for about 15 seconds, then add the rest of the ingredients and beat on low speed for another 15-20 seconds. (Do Not over beat, or your cake will deflate.)
  6. Divide batter evenly between two loaf pans.
  7. Place in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, until golden in color or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest in the pan for 5 minutes, before removing and allowing to cool on a cooling rack.

  10. Beat butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice & lemon emulsion until smooth and supple.
  11. Spread evenly on top of both cakes.
