Quick Lemon Pound Cake

I’ve been in the mood for lemon lately.  It must be my desire for warmer weather.  I like sweet lemon desserts, not the tart kind, unlike the rest of my family.  My Man and all my kidlets LOVE tart lemon desserts.  Not me.  So when I saw this easy recipe from Duncan Hines for quick Lemon Pound Cake I knew this would satisfy my craving for sweet lemon in a jiffy.   Sometimes I need a quick recipe for gatherings or family nights and that’s where these kind of easy cake box recipes come in.  This easy lemon pound cake is a little fancier than your typical cake mix cake.  So give it and try and make sure you check out my newest recipe video (you guys, I can’t believe I actually made a recipe video!!!).  You’ll be tasting that sweet lemon flavor in less 45 mins . . .

Here’s what you will need for this lemon pound cake recipe.  I used Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme cake mix.  Delicious.

 

 

 

 
 
Mix it all up together.  You can also add the zest of one lemon if you want to add an extra punch of flavor!  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Lemon zester by Zulay Kitchen
 
Simply add the zest to your batter.  We use the BEST CHEESE GRATER & ZESTER from Zulay Kitchen.  This zester is stainless steel with a nice long, no-slip handle.  You can use it for  citrus, cheese, ginger, chocolate, and even coconut.  It includes a plastic cover too!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And bake.  I used bread pans and they worked beautifully.  A bundt pan would make it beautiful too.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Top it off with powdered sugar or your favorite topping.  And enjoy!
 
 
 
 

Quick Lemon Pound Cake


1 box lemon cake mix (16.5 oz)
1 cup water
1/3 cup oil (I used olive oil)
4 eggs
1 box lemon instant pudding (3.4 oz)

zest of 1 lemon, if desired
1/4 cup powdered sugar, if desired


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and pudding mix.  Mix well with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes.  Pour batter into well greased baking pans.  Bread pans or bundt cake pans work nicely.  Bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean–depends on your oven and pan size.  Mine took 30 minutes with batter divided into 2 bread pans.  Cool completely before slicing.  Dust with powdered sugar.

Enjoy a themed dinner while you watch a fun movie. The menu goes a long with the movie and is served to you while you are watching the scene it relates to. We saw Holes (which we love!) but there are many others to choose from. Our menu had a fun drinks, appetizers, main course, sides, and dessert. I left satisfied and had a fun time with my hubby and our friends. 

Purchase tickets online. Seating is first come, first served so arrive early if you want a certain seat (though there isn’t a bad seat at all). Let me know if you try this!

Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thes Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thesheepdetectives … Fun, quirky movie, (kinda like Babe but really like no other movie I’ve seen before). Definitely full of kid vibes but adults will like it too. A who-dun-it mystery. We laughed out loud a lot more than we expected!

Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festiv Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festival is worth visiting this year? Here’s a look at what we saw today. 

We’ve had a lot of up and down weather so I wasn’t surprised to find a lot of the tulips already finishing up their season on April 23. BUT we still found quite a few areas with some big, beautiful blooms and it was a peaceful walk with less crowds. There were signs reminding us that more tulips were going to be blooming soon, so maybe wait a week or so if you want to see those new tulips. 

Thank you @utahstulipfestival for a fun visit! @thankspoint @theashtongardens #tulipfestival #utahtulipfestival #tulipseason #springinutah #traveltips
DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecen DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecentretheatre I laughed until I cried! 
We loved this one!!

Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Fami Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Family Beehive Stage @halecentretheatre . It’s was the perfect day to see a rom com and my hubby was a good sport to see a play called “Hallmarked” (NOT his favorite play so far). The play definitely lives up to its name—lots of predictable moments, plot holes, and cheesy lines. 🫤 But when it makes fun of itself, you will laugh and leave feeling lighthearted.
Leave your questions in the comments section if you want to more of my thoughts about this new play. #halecentertheater #thingstodoinutah #emptynesterlife #valentinesdaydate #familytravelideas
