Recipes Made with Cake Mixes
Lemon Dream Cake
This was my mother's recipe! This cake is very moist if left to set a day or two. Unfortunately, they usually don't last that long at my house!
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 Box Duncan Hines lemon supreme cake mix (I have used other brands)
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (less 1 tablespoon) oil
- 1 cup apricot nectar
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Juice of 2 lemons (or bottled lemon juice)
Instructions
Cake
- Beat eggs at high speed with mixer and mix with rest of ingredients at medium speed.
- Bake in tube or Bundt pan at 350 degrees F for almost an hour.
- Meanwhile, make the Glaze.
- Turn cake out on plate. Immediate pour Glaze over hot cake.
Glaze
- Mix both ingredients. Pour over hot cake. You can put some holes in the cake so the glaze will soak in, if desired. I usually guess the glaze mixture after the first few times. The more you put, the better it is!
Notes
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
If you test this cake with a wooden pick before it is done on the inside, it will fall - but it is still good anyway! Do not over-mix this cake.
