Warm Winter Lemon Cake

photo by:kraft

Gently falling snow, good. Unrelenting icy rain, not so much. Tame winter with a forkful of lemony sunshine in a warm, moist pudding cake with a citrus tang.

What You Need

1/3

cup granulated sugar

cups cold milk

1-1/4

PREPARE cake batter as directed on package; pour into 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.

We just loved this cake. I have actually halfed it using a 1 layer cake mix. I have also used different flavors of cake mix and pudding.

I have made this several times and is ALWAYS a hit. I never have leftovers. Great when you want a warm dessert on a chilly night.

My family couldn't get enough of this cake! It was so easy so I was surprised it was so good! It oozed out a bit during the baking but it made no difference. I'll be making this one again.

Too bland. I made it exactly like the directions and it looked just like the pix. It was too sweet for our taste and too bland.

I really enjoyed this cake! Delicious flavor and great texture with the pudding. My boyfriend loves lemon, so he was impressed.

It was okay but not an exciting dessert. It had a very mild lemon flavor.

I made this recipe with a lemon cake mix instead of yellow and used the pudding recommended, it was very good

This cake is delicious but we prefer it cold. I make it ahead of time then refrigerate it for at least 8 hours.

This recipe is yummy and easy to make! I made it twice - the first time as written, the second time with chocolate. We prefer the lemon. I have to admit I was skeptical when it said to pour the pudding mixture over the cake batter. But it works great! This is one of our favorites! I'm making it again today!
