Cake:
Pre-heat the oven to 350°.
Mix together the cake mix and the instant pudding mix.
Then add in the eggs and water, beating everything together for about 2 minutes.
Add the canola oil; then beat for another 2 minutes.
Pour the cake batter into a rectangular 13"x9" cake pan, and smooth it out evenly in the pan with a spatula.
Place it in the oven and bake at 350° F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
Lemon Glaze:
In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice, which will create a really thin glaze.
When the cake is done and while it's still hot, poke it all over with a fork.
Then pour or spoon on the glaze and spread it evenly over the cake. The glaze will soak down into the cake, creating a really moist texture to the cake and a slightly crunchy top layer. It's so good!
Now it's ready to serve and enjoy!
*You can substitute 4 ounces of frozen lemonade concentrate for the lemon juice.
How should I store lemon cake?
It should be fine on the counter for 2-3 days. It will keep longer, though, if stored in the refrigerator.
Can I freeze it?
Yes, you can. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container so it doesn't get freezer burn. If freezing it in the cake pan, I'd add a layer of plastic wrap underneath the lid as an extra measure to guard against freezer burn. It should keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
