Easy Lemon Cake

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We have been busy enjoying the retirement life and with that being said I find it harder to find Time to blog but I will be adding recipes as I can!
This cake recipe is absolutely amazing! This was so easy to make and loved by everyone. My Dad and Jim both went for a second piece! Lemon cake Is a great choice for any summer gathering. I hope you enjoy this cake as much as my family did!

INGREDIENTS

1 box of lemon cake mix
1 box of instant lemon pudding
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs

FOR THE SOAKING SYRUP

2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 Tablespoons unsalted melted butter
2 Tablespoons water

DIRECTIONS

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13×9 baking dish and set aside.
Beat eggs in a large bowl, add the cake mix, pudding mix, water and oil. Mix until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the pre heated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking make the soaking syrup by combining the melted butter, lemon juice, powdered sugar and water.
When the cake is done poke holes all over the cake with a fork then pour the soaking syrup over the top of the cake. That syrup will all be soaked into the cake while it cools. Let cool completely and serve.

Enjoy!
