FLUTED LEMON CAKE

Fluted Lemon Cake image

My great-grandmother used to make this cake, which has been a family favorite for years. You won't believe it starts with a cake mix! Lemon pudding and apricot nectar add a tanginess and moistness. It's delicious plain or served with ice cream or whipped cream.
