Lemon(cello) Cake
This cake is a variation on Chocolate Coffee Liqueur Cake recipe. It's sad for me, but eating chocolate at night makes falling asleep difficult. So I adapted the other (heavenly) recipe into one I could serve (myself and others) in the evening. And wow! It's the best lemon cake I've ever had! (Sorry, Granny.) So make it for nighttime consumption--or breakfast!
​
Note: The original recipe called for an 18.25 ounce box of cake mix and a 4 ounce box of instant pudding. For the most part, neither of those sizes is still available. But there are fixes, and this recipe has been edited to include those fixes.
​
In addition, I have revised the ingredients on this cake to make it even better. Guaranteed.
​

​
1 box lemon cake mix plus Cake Mix Fix
1 package (4 ounces or smaller) instant lemon pudding
1 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
(OR 1-2 lemons--zest and juice, strained, plus water to equal 3/4 cup liquid)
4 eggs
1/4 cup limoncello
1/4 cup vodka
​
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add all ingredients to large bowl and mix for 5 minutes. Bake in a bundt pan or a 9-inch by 13-inch pan for 40-50 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
​
This cake is very moist and does not require frosting, although a little lemon glaze would be lovely. It may be served plain or sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
