Lemon Cake with Lemon Sauce


I received this recipe from a high school friend's mom for my wedding in a journal of various cake recipes. I just tried it out this past weekend. It was very lemony and quite moist. However, it is not a cake you would want to take somewhere to be pretty as it looks plain, yet tasty for those who like lemon flavoring.

Ingredients:
1 box lemon cake mix
1 box lemon instant pudding
4 eggs
1 cup of water
1/2 c of cooking oil

Blend ingredients for 3 mins with electric mixer set on medium speed. Pour in tube pan. Bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until done. (I did mine for 45 min.)

Sauce:
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1 c of confectioners sugar
Juice of 2 fresh lemons (my choice) or lemon juice

Bring ingredients to boil. Pour over cake while still in pan. Notice cake below is shiny as the sauce is setting into the cake

Cool cake completely before removing from pan. Has a lemon poundcake texture, but moist. Good with coffee or iced tea.
