Equipment
- 1 12-cup Bundt Pan
Ingredients
- 1 box (15-16 ounces) lemon cake mix
- 1 box (3 ounces) lemon instant pudding mix
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 eggs
- 1 can (21 ounces) lemon pie filling
FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or water
Instructions
FOR THE CAKE:
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan or use a baking spray with flour in it.
- With a mixer on medium speed, blend the cake mix, instant pudding mix, butter, milk, and lemon juice.
- Add the eggs and beat well for 2 minutes, stopping a few times to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared pan.
- Spoon the pie filling over the batter, but do not let it touch the edges of the pan or the tube ring. It should look like a ring around the batter.
- Spoon the remaining batter evenly over the filling, but this time let the batter touch the edges of the pan and tube ring.
- Bake at 350℉ for 45-50 minutes. Use a cake tester inserted in the middle to test for doneness. There should be no cake batter, but you may see some lemon filling on the cake tester.
- Completely cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack. (about 1½ hours)
- Use a knife to loosen the edges of the cake and around the tube ring, then invert it onto a serving plate.
- Mix the glaze ingredients by hand in a small bowl. Drizzle it over the cooled cake.
- Store the cake covered at room temperature for 3-4 days. No need to refrigerate the cake since the the filling is cooked inside the cake. If you want to refrigerate it, cover it with plastic wrap or in a covered cake dish so the cake doesn't dry out.
Notes
FREEZE: You can freeze the cake wrapped in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or a freezer bag. You can also freeze individual cake slices the same way.
LEMON ZEST: Sprinkle some lemon zest on top of the glaze right after you drizzle it. You can also add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cake batter.
