Pinkie's Cake

This was my Grandma's favorite cake and every time I have it I think of her. It is easy to make, scrumptious, and looks really beautiful when decorated with fresh flowers.

Lemon Cake
1 pkg. lemon instant pudding
1 box yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup water

*Beat 4 to 5 minutes
*Pour into greased angelfood pan
*Bake @ 350 for 1 hour

Frosting
1 box powdered sugar
Juice of 2 lemons (more or less until creamy)
Grated lemon peel

*After cake has baked, remove from oven and place right-side-up on plate. Frost immediately while hot! Let icing run down sides of cake - patch up spaces.
(I didn't patch them yet in the picture).

Great recipe! This is one of our family favorites also, but we usually do orange (orange jello for the cake and orange juice for the glaze). It's also good in a 9x13 pan and then when it comes out of the oven you take a fork and make holes all across the top and pour the glaze on so it seeps into the cake. YUMMY! Hope you're doing well!

okay so i just noticed it's not exactly the same as the one i'm thinking :) but very similar, and delicious nonetheless!
