How to Make Sarah S Glazed Lemon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 (3.4 oz) package instant lemon pudding mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, and 1 cup lemon-lime soda.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Increase mixer speed to high and beat for an additional 30 seconds, until batter is smooth.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is still warm, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar with 2-4 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Add more lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  8. Pour glaze evenly over the warm cake and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
