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.

New movie coming out that I want to see. I remembe New movie coming out that I want to see. I remember when this happened in 1989. The boy Josh was lost in an abandoned mine in UT for 5 days. It was a miracle how they found him. He was about my age so it made an impression on me. Now this true story has been made into a movie called Faith of Angels. @faithofangelsfilm 
Check out the trailer here: https://upvir.al/158749/lp158749  DO YOU REMEMBER this news story?
Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @hal Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @halecentretheatre lately!! The Nutty Professor had us laughing all the way to the end and the music was clever and fun.  If you’ve been trying to decide about this one, I’d say don’t miss it! #halecentretheatre #thenuttyprofessormusical #halecentretheatresandy
Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Ticket Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Tickets were only $8.01 on 8/01 and the zoo opened at 8:01 am. 
I went with my nieces and nephews and it was VERY BUSY! (like Disneyland busy). We arrived about 11 am and every parking lot was completely full and side streets were filling fast. Needless to say we had to walk a bit in the heat just to get to the front gate. There were lines to get in, lines, at snack shops, and definitely a line for the train. BUT we saw some animals—-lions, tigers, bears (oh my!)…plus giraffes, zebras, and a leopard.  It was definitely worth $8.01 but it’s not for the faint of heart. A fun adventure! #hoglezoo #801day #familyactivities #hoglezooutah 🐒🐅🦒🐘🦓
So the amount of car wash centers popping up every So the amount of car wash centers popping up everywhere has made me curious. Why are they everywhere?! So we decided to try is and see what the fuss was all about. Here’s the PROS AND CONS we found:

Pros:
• Gentle yet very thorough wash—no scratching!
• Attendants right there to help you
• Fun lights and cool sprayers—it’s like a show!
• Powerful vacuums and extras for detailing

Cons:
• So expensive! This is not your regular $5 car wash. 
• They have limited hours. This one closes by 7 pm so no car washing whenever you want
• Kinda an eyesore to have a car wash in every corner in town. 

What do you think? What Pros and Cons have you found? Do you like these big car was centers?
