Lemon Pound Cake

Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 pkg (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
• 1 cup water (or milk)
• 1 tsp pure lemon extract
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cake mix and instant lemon pudding mix.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, water, lemon extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
4. Form the batter: Pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and mix just until combined and smooth.
5. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
