Description

This lemon sunshine cake is made with cake and pudding mixes and has peach nectar for a fruity taste. An easy lemon glaze is the finishing touch.

Ingredients

floured cooking spray
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
1/2 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 cup peach nectar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup peach nectar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt).
2 Beat together lemon cake mix, lemon pudding mix, white sugar, eggs, 1 cup peach nectar, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until the top of cake springs back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
4 Cool cake in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
5 Mix together confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup peach nectar, lemon juice, and lemon peel in a large bowl with an electric mixer until frosting is smooth.
6 Invert cooled cake onto a serving platter; poke holes in the top of cake with a fork. Pour frosting slowly over cake, allowing it to soak into the holes and drizzle down the sides.
