I want some

I guess I'll be heading to the store.

Now i have to decide on cream cheese frosting or chocolate frosting...

(i think cream cheese if i'm putting blueberries in??...)

Oooh, Yah, definitely cream cheese. My grandma used to make lemon cake in a bunt pan, then warm the frosting slightly to drizzle over it

She did that with rum cake too..... Ahh man! Now I want rum cake too!

If you're going for refreshing a glaze is definitely the way to go! If I remember correctly its basically just lemon juice, water, and powdered sugar...doesn't get much easier!

Oh and my recipe is from boxed cake!

try this!!

Lemon Glaze Cake

1 box yellow or lemon cake
1 sm pkg lemon pudding
3/4 C oil
3/4 C water
3 eggs

Mix until smooth and bake 30-35 minutes at 350°. in greased 9x13 pan.

Combine:
2 C powdered sugar
2 Tbls butter
2 Tbls water
1/3 C. lemon juice

Melt in saucepan until butter is melted. poke holes in cake and pour glaze over. the corners are always a favorite here! they soak up all the glaze! mmm!

This has been a favorite family recipe for 4+ generations! it was my great grandma's recipe and I still make it all the time now!

That's very similar to my recipe

I use a bundt pan though and it comes out so pretty!

I had a lemon cookie recipe that needed more lemon zing but not more liquid. I opened an envelope of Kool-Aid and used around a teaspoon. Worked great to give me the zippy flavor I wanted.
