Ready in just over an hour and serving 12, it’s a delightful, crowd-pleasing dessert that’s as easy as it is delicious.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard bundt pan or spray it with non-stick baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix and instant lemon pudding mix.
Add the eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, water, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest to the mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed for 30 seconds to combine, then increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Once the cake has completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Super Moist Cake Mix Lemon Pound Cake!
