Ingredients

Cake:

Optional Lemon Glaze:

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
  • First, beat the cream cheese separately and set aside.
  • Mix together the lemon zest and sugar.
  • Then mix the cake mix and cream cheese into the lemon sugar mixture.
  • Next add the canola oil, hot water, and eggs.
  • Mix everything together really well, until you have a smooth, creamy batter.
  • Pour the cake batter into a greased pan.*
  • Bake at 350° for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes or so in the pan.
  • Then let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving with whipped cream. Or you can pour the lemon glaze over the cake while it's still a bit warm, allow it to cool, and slice and serve.

Notes

*While I prefer to use a loaf pan, you can also use a bundt pan to make this cake.
