Lemon Bundt Cake

Lemon Bundt Cake
Ingredients
Cake 
  • 1 standard size package lemon cake mix
  • 1 3.4 oz size package instant lemon pudding mix just the dry mix!
  • 1 cup sour cream regular/full fat works best
  • 1 cup oil 
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp pure lemon extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest 
  • ½ cup warm water 
Frosting
  • 8 ounces package cream cheese, softened 
  • ¼ cup butter softened, ½ stick
  • 3 ½ - 4 cups confectioners’ sugar 
  • 1 to 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 teaspoons pure lemon extract
  • 1 to 3 tbsp lemon juice 
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
Cake 
  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Coat 12 cup bundt pan or 10 inch fluted tube pan with no-stick cooking spray. Dust with flour. 
  2. Beat cake mix, sour cream, pudding mix, oil, water, eggs, lemon zest and lemon extract in large bowl with electric mixer on low until well combined. Spoon into prepared bundt pan.
  3. Bake 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool completely. 
Frosting
  1. Beat softened butter, cream cheese and lemon extract in a bowl until light and fluffy. Mix until well combined. Add in your confectioners sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. 
  2. Add in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon milk, and mix until very well combined. If you desire a thinner frosting, add 1 to 2 additional tablespoons of lemon juice, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once desired consistency is reached, fold in the zest of one lemon. 
  3. Once cake has cooled completely, apply frosting to cake. As this is a bundt cake, it does not have to be perfectly frosted. Garnish with remaining lemon zest. Store in refrigerator.
