Ice Box Lemon Drop Cake image

This is one of the moistest cakes we've ever had! (We attribute that to the addition of the buttermilk... along with the TLC that goes into the prep.) It almost has a creamy texture reminding us of a firm custard. An easy cake to throw together for a potluck or when you want a yummy dessert. Perfect for a fresh finish to any...

CAKE
1 Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Supreme lemon cake mix
1 pkg lemon instant pudding mix, 3 oz
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 c water
1/3 c lemon juice
1 c buttermilk
3 eggs
GLAZE
4 c confectioners sugar
1/3 c lemon juice
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, stir together dry cake mix and pudding mix.
  • 2. In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, water, lemon juice, buttermilk, and eggs. Beat with mixer until blended.
  • 3. Add to dry mixture.
  • 4. Beat until combined.
  • 5. Pour cake into a greased 9x13 pan.
  • 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes (check cake at 35 minutes). It will require a couple of minutes longer baking time than cake mix box calls for because of the extra moisture produced by the milk. Stick a toothpick in the center to check for doneness.
  • 7. ICING: Combine water, oil, powdered sugar, and lemon juice with a mixer until smooth. Add one more tablespoon of water if consistency isn't saucy.
  • 8. "Glaze" the cake when just a little cooled. Do not over glaze it because the icing is sweet. Just a THIN layer is required. If there is icing left over, store in the fridge and just stir it really good to use again.
  • 9. Store cake in the fridge and serve cold or room temp.
