Ingredients
Cake
15.25ouncesyellow cake mix
3.4ouncesinstant lemon pudding
7.5ounce can7UP (1 mini can or about 1 cup)
4eggs,room temperature
¾cupvegetable oil
Glaze
2cupspowdered sugar
2tablespoonslemon juice
2tablespoonswhole milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 9-inch (10-cup) bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the cake mix and instant lemon pudding together in a medium bowl. This will help ensure even distribution.
Using a stand mixer or large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together all of the cake ingredients, including the cake and pudding mixture, for 2 minutes at medium-high speed.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Add the milk a little at a time until desired consistency is achieved (it should be thin enough to drizzle). Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
Notes
Using carbonated soda in this recipe adds extra leavening and should result in a lighter, fluffier cake.
We used a 9-inch aluminum ring pan to get the bubbled up top to this cake. You can also use a traditional bundt pan and turn it upside down onto a cooling rack.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cake at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
