  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 box (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

3 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Zest of 2 lemons

Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan with butter or baking spray that includes flour.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in melted butter, milk, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Tap lightly to release air bubbles.

Bake for 40–45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before unmolding.

Drizzle with lemon glaze (1 cup powdered sugar + 2 tbsp lemon juice), or serve with whipped cream and zest.

Notes

This cake keeps well for 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen.
