My mom and I have turned into cake baking machines. We want to find the perfect cake for each flavor. This lemon cake is amazing. This isn’t just the best lemon cake I have ever had, it might be the best cake I have ever had. It has the perfect texture and its delicate lemon flavor is a perfect match for the frosting. I dream about this cake. I tried to convince my daughter she wanted this cake for her birthday this week, but alas, it isn’t pink so it didn’t make the cut. 😉
Lemon Bundt Cake
For the Cake:
- 1 package lemon cake mix (I like the Duncan Hines Mix for these cakes)
- 1 small box instant lemon pudding
- 4 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 C. sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 c. water
- 1/2 c. oil
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients. Pour the mixture into a greased 10″ inch bundt pan. Bake for about 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes and then remove the cake from the pan. It is best to remove the cake from the pan right at 15 minutes, If you wait a shorter or longer amount of a time it can be hard to remove the cake cleanly from the pan.
For the frosting:
- 16 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1 c. heavy cream
Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together until smooth. In a different bowl beat the cream until stiff peaks form. Combine the frosting ingredients and beat just until combined. Do not beat very long. Scoop the frosting into a pastry bag and cut the end. Loop over the cake to evenly spread the frosting.
This lemon version truly is divine!

Yes please! I could go for a slice right now. What a wonderful way to cheer up a dark and gloomy day 🙂
Doesn't this look so yummy?! If it tastes as good as it looks I would have a hard time sharing.
I thought I had the perfect lemon cake, but now I'm wondering…. that pudding has to make a big difference!
Who can resist a lemon cake especially one as delicious looking as yours. Served with a cuppa this would be so lush!
Hint: add some beets or beet juice and it'll be pink in no time and give a little sweetness plus a serving of veggies!
I love lemon anything and this cake would certainly hit the spot. I think I would try to make this and maybe do a bit more cream cheese frosting since that's my fave!
I love how it looks like a flower. So pretty and anything lemon in our house is a must.
We're pretty obsessed with anything lemon in this house, but I've never made a lemon bundt cake. This is going on my must-make list!
What fab decoration and skill! I love lemon cake, I find it quite refreshing and not so heavy. Will be sharing this and hopefully trying it for myself once I bake again!
This looks and sounds yummy. I really need to invest in a bundt pan so I can make some of these yummy cakes I've been seeing.
I love the way the frosting looks like the petals of a lily as it sits on top of the cake. This looks delicious!
I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but the rest of my family is. I will have to make this for them soon!
Oh yum! This looks delicious! I wish I had a bundt pan…I wonder if I could just use a regular cake pan?!
I can't wait to try this in my bundt pan! Perfect for spring!
