Variations:
If you want a stronger lemon tang, you can use lemon cake mix instead of the vanilla cake mix.
I prefer this cake with a glaze. You can make a vanilla glaze, or my favorite, lemon glaze.
For the lemon glaze, you will need:
1 cup of confectioner’s sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1 tablespoon of lemon juice, or lemon extract.
Just whisk it all together! If it’s too thick, add a little more milk, and if it’s too thin, add a little more confectioner’s sugar. Then pour over the top of the cake.
