This lemon cake is extremely moist and delicious thanks to lemon instant pudding and lemon-lime soda.

This was so delicious!!! Love the lemony flavors, will definitely make this again
I love to make this cake. lemoney.moist simply the best.
I make this exactly as it says. My variation is to add fresh blueberries, about a cup. Then I put a glaze. Powder Sugar and lemon juice. Perfect summer dessert. Always get asked to bring it.
This was far too sweet. I should have known: boxed cake mix, instant pudding AND lemon/lime soda—all chock full of sugar.
Delicious ! I made the recipe, just as it called. Only I added a glaze of lemon juice and powdered sugar. I think I got the glaze too thin, but it tasted great. One of the easiest cakes I have made.
Very good lemon flavored Bundt cake, but I didn’t want to use Soda in it. Substitutes 1/2 C milk, and 1/2 C plain yogurt (or buttermilk). Added 1 tsp of Lemon extract. Baked it 44 minutes only.
This cake was sooo moist. I baked it at 350 for 50 minutes. I used Duncan Hines lemon supreme cake mix. After it cooled, I made the glaze with 1 c of sifted powdered sugar, 3 tbs lemon zest, 3 tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice. I punched holes in the top and poured in the glaze. Lastly, I sprinkled 1/4 of the powdered sugar on top. Will definitely make again.
Turned out great!
This cake was amazing, and delicious as written. I used sprite for the soda. It was taken to a family birthday dinner, and everyone loved it.
The wonderful thing about this recipe is you can truly make any kind of cake you want. I have made this with vanilla cake and used vanilla pudding and cream soda. I have made strawberry cake and used cheesecake pudding and black cherry soda, I’ve made chocolate cake with chocolate pudding and root beer or Coca-Cola. The options are endless and so delicious! I also just buy regular frosting and melt it for about 20 seconds in the microwave then pour it over the top of the cake.??
I didn’t have lemon cake mix, pudding or soda, so added 1 cup reconstituted lemon juice to a yellow cake mix and vanilla pudding. The cake turned out great—super lemony and moist and did not taste like a boxed cake mix at all. I was hesitant to bake a cake at 325 so baked at 350 for 50 min. Made a glaze with fresh lemon juice, about 1/4 cup (juice of one lemon), mixed with 1-3/4 cups powdered sugar and drizzled over it. Next time I’d like to add poppy seeds to the mix.
Great hit as a birthday cake
Love this recipe BUT it calls for WAY too much oil. I cut the oil in half and it comes out perfect! Also, i use 7-up instead of Mountain Dew. It takes fake with Mountain Dew. A completely different taste but I’m not a Mountain Dew fan anyway.
This is a favorite in our home, and also of anyone we share it with! l use Sprite, and I’m generous with the 1 c. of oil. I frost with fluffy American buttercream using about 1.5-2 c powdered sugar, 1/2 c butter and 1 tsp vanilla. I am also careful not to overbake it; I stick to 45-46″. When I’ve gone over even by 5″ it gets dry and is not nearly as delicious.
I love you cake!!!!
I need help as cake mixes are not 18.25 any more. I made this cake and it fell. You need to adjust ingredients due to less cake mix. Pleas help me as even though it fell, it was delicious. Nancy
My husbands new favorite cake. I didn’t have lemon lime so I used Cactus Cooler with lemon cake and lemon pudding. Tonight, I’m trying chocolate cake and pudding wit Dr Pepper.
Will make this again and again. It was amazing!!!
Excellent
Followed the recipe. It was great! I did add a lemon glaze. Fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar. I did serve fresh blueberries on the side! Yummo!!
This was absolutely delicious! Per the advice of other reviewers, I used 1 stick of softened butter in place of the oil. I had some Pellegrino Limonata on hand, so used that in place of the lemon-lime soda. For the icing, I used: 6 oz. softened cream cheese 4 T. softened butter 4 cups powdered sugar Juice of one lemon 1 T. lemon zest It was heaven!
