Catt's Easy Lemon Pound Cake

I have a pound cake recipe that's delicious, but here's one you can go right to your pantry and make.

Catt's Easy Lemon Pound Cake

l pkg. 2 layer lemon cake mix
l (3.4 oz) lemon OR vanilla instant pudding
4 eggs
l/3 c. veg. oil
l c. water

Preheat oven to 350.

Grease and flour bundt or tube pan. Combine cake mix, pudding, eggs, water and oil in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour into pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 25 minutes and then invert onto a dish or serving plate. Cool completely.

For Glaze: You can heat either vanilla frosting or lemon frosting in microwave on high power for l0 to l5 seconds. Drizzle over cake. You can also make your own using powdered sugar and lemon juice. However, I prefer to sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar and not use a glaze.

I've used different flavors for this pound cake, depending on what I have in the pantry: I've used chocolate cake mix with chocolate pudding: white cake mix with vanilla pudding: Duncan Hines makes a pineapple cake mix, it's good using vanilla pudding - it's perhaps my favorite one so far. I've also used an orange cake mix with vanilla pudding. Just play with it, and use what you have on hand. That's the key to quick recipes: while it's not what some may say 'from scratch' it's all about cooking at home, not buying it from the store already made. This way, you can control the flavors and customize it with what your family likes.
