1 c water
1 can(s) pecan & coconut frosting

Steps:

ICE BOX LEMON DROP CAKE



Ice Box Lemon Drop Cake image

This is one of the moistest cakes we've ever had! (We attribute that to the addition of the buttermilk... along with the TLC that goes into the prep.) It almost has a creamy texture reminding us of a firm custard. An easy cake to throw together for a potluck or when you want a yummy dessert. Perfect for a fresh finish to any...

Number Of Ingredients 13

CAKE
1 Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Supreme lemon cake mix
1 pkg lemon instant pudding mix, 3 oz
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 c water
1/3 c lemon juice
1 c buttermilk
3 eggs
GLAZE
4 c confectioners sugar
1/3 c lemon juice
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, stir together dry cake mix and pudding mix.
  • 2. In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, water, lemon juice, buttermilk, and eggs. Beat with mixer until blended.
  • 3. Add to dry mixture.
  • 4. Beat until combined.
  • 5. Pour cake into a greased 9x13 pan.
  • 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes (check cake at 35 minutes). It will require a couple of minutes longer baking time than cake mix box calls for because of the extra moisture produced by the milk. Stick a toothpick in the center to check for doneness.
  • 7. ICING: Combine water, oil, powdered sugar, and lemon juice with a mixer until smooth. Add one more tablespoon of water if consistency isn't saucy.
  • 8. "Glaze" the cake when just a little cooled. Do not over glaze it because the icing is sweet. Just a THIN layer is required. If there is icing left over, store in the fridge and just stir it really good to use again.
  • 9. Store cake in the fridge and serve cold or room temp.

LEMON DROP CAKE



Lemon Drop Cake image

Two of my favorite cakes are Black Russian cakes and a delicious Margarita Cake. I used them as an inspiration for this extremely moist and lemony cake. I made it for a friend's birthday and everyone loved it! For an extra kick you could add a little vodka to the glaze. I found that a cooking spray with flour in it (now sold for baking) was convenient and it worked great at preventing the cake from sticking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your cake the best flavor. If you can, use Meyer lemons, which are known for their sweet and tart flavor.
  • Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will help to release the essential oils from the lemons, which will give your cake a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the cake from browning too quickly and becoming dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Serve the cake with fresh lemon slices or whipped cream. This will add a delicious and refreshing touch to your cake.

Conclusion:

The Inside-Out Lemon Drop Cake is a delicious and refreshing cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be decorated to your liking. With its bright lemon flavor and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Give it a try for your next party or gathering!
