Lemon Cake

This cake is amazing. Over the years I have become infatuated with anything lemon and this recipe "takes the cake". Okay, that was pretty lame but it's true. You will love me more than you already do after you make this cake.


Cake Ingredients
1 package lemon cake mix
1 c sour cream (8 oz)
3/4 c water
3/4 c oil
4 eggs
1 small package lemon instant pudding


Cake Instructions
Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Mix with electric mixer on medium/high for about two minutes.


Pour into a greased 9x13 pan or two round pans.


Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.


Frosting Ingredients
1/4 c butter, very soft
6 c powdered sugar
1/2 c FRESH lemon juice
1 t grated lemon zest


Frosting Instructions
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of sugar, then the juice and the zest. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, until icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency. If desired, add a few drops of yellow food coloring and mix thoroughly.
