How to Make Super Moist Cake Mix Lemon Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine: one box (15.25 oz) Duncan Hines yellow cake mix, one 3.4 oz package instant lemon pudding mix, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 25 minutes.
  7. Invert the cake onto a heat-resistant serving plate.
  8. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  9. **For the Lemon Glaze:** In a microwave-safe bowl, place 1 cup of your favorite vanilla frosting.
  10. Microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and pourable (about 15-30 seconds total). Be careful not to overheat.
  11. Add lemon extract, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired lemon flavor.
  12. Stir well to combine.
  13. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake.
