How to Make Crusader Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, or use baking spray with flour.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, eggs, and water according to cake mix instructions. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
- Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes until batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 25 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Prepare the Lemon Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add more lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency.
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze evenly over the top.
