I slightly mismeasured and my husband had to cut notches out of my cake stand. Let’s just say he wasn’t too gentle with the fondant… Grr! |
Sorta From Scratch Lemon Cake
4 eggs
1 box of lemon cake mix
1 box of instant lemon pudding mix (4 serving size) – full fat works best

1/3 cup of vegetable oil
Enjoy!

Yummy! I love lemon cake! As a matter of fact, the top layer of my wedding cake, was lemon! But since I had to drive my car back to St. Louis after the wedding (by myself) that top layer didn’t make it. LOL Maybe I could use this recipe and replicate it for me and the hubby! =)

I want to try this recipe for my daughter as she is not keen on cake but I don’t know what a box of instant lemon pudding mix is. I asked at the supermarket and they don’t know. I live in the UK, does it have a different name here?
Sarah says
Not sure! It is made by Jello often, and there are store brands as well. It comes in a box like Jello and is sold in the same spot. Hope this helps!
ama says
Hi! Can you please specify which brands you are using? I find this makes a big difference, and thank you for the help! Also, would you say this is rather sweet?
Sarah says
It isn’t that sweet – a little tangy. I use all sorts of brands, and I dont find much difference. Usually it is the walmart brand or betty crocker. Hope that helps!

Hi – I found this post while searching for cake ideas. I’m turning 50 at the end of this month and have been asked over and over for my birthday cake preference. The problem is that I’m also not a big fan of cake to begin with, and I’m usually caked out by my birthday. My entire household has October birthdays, and mine is last, so by the time my day rolls around I’ve long hit my limit on cake.
This, however, looks interesting. My boyfriend’s birthday is a few days before mine, and he LOVES lemon cake. I need to make this for his birthday, and could change up the flavor to make it again for my birthday.
Thanks for sharing this!
