We enjoy this yummy all-time favorite lemon cake two ways. You can make it in a bundt cake pan or a loaf pan to be more like the Starbucks version.
The base of the cake is made from a cake mix, but with our own measurement of ingredients to make the perfect, almost homemade cake.
The bundt version has a thin icing glaze with fresh lemon juice and confectioner’s sugar. For the loaf version, we slather the icing on thick for a zesty sweetness to the top of the cake. Here is our family’s favorite cake recipe!
