Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 3.4 oz box instant lemon pudding
- 3 eggs beaten
- ½ to ¾ cup oil
- 12 oz Sundrop soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp water or milk, half & half, or heavy cream
- Dash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven : Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pan : Grease a Bundt pan with butter or cooking spray. Optionally, dust with flour for extra non-stick insurance.
- Mix Dry Ingredients : In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix and instant lemon pudding.
- Add Wet Ingredients : Add the eggs, oil, Sundrop soda, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and beat for 1.5 to 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Bake : Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 40 minutes at 350°F. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
- Cool : Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it onto a serving platter.
- Make the Glaze : In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and your choice of liquid (water, milk, etc.). Adjust consistency as needed.
- Glaze the Cake : Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake and let it set before slicing and serving.
