Ingredients:

• 1 package Duncan Hines Deluxe II Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
• 1 package lemon instant pudding mix (4 serving size)
• ½ cup Crisco Oil
• 1 cup water
• 4 eggs

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, blend the Duncan Hines Deluxe II Lemon Supreme Cake Mix, lemon instant pudding mix, Crisco Oil, water, and eggs. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes until the ingredients are well combined.
3. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or a fluted pan.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until the center of the cake springs back when lightly touched.
6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 25 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate.

Glaze:

To add an extra burst of lemon flavor, you can drizzle a simple glaze over the cake. In a bowl, blend 1 cup of confectioners sugar with either 2 tablespoons of milk or 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes:

If you are baking at altitudes over 3500 feet, it’s recommended to stir in ⅓ cup of flour into the cake mix. Additionally, for high-altitude baking, use ⅓ cup of Crisco Oil instead of ½ cup. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 40-45 minutes.

Remember, using Crisco Oil is recommended as some other oils may cause the cake to fall.
