Warm Winter Lemon Cake

This weekend I tried baking something new and I looked through my Kraft foods and family cookbook and found this recipe for warm winter lemon cake. I freaked out when I poured the lemon pudding and it looked as if it mixed right in with the cake mix but I felt better when I took it out in the oven and saw that both the cake and pudding had seperated like it should have. :)

Overall It was really easy to make and even Christian liked it (or so he says :P)

Prep Time:15 min
Total Time:1 hr 15 min
Makes:16 servings

1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
2 cups cold milk
1-1/4 cups water
2 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Prepare cake batter as directed on package. Pour into greased 13x9-inch baking dish; set aside.


POUR milk and water into large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes and granulated sugar. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Pour over batter. Place baking dish on baking sheet to catch any sauce that might bubble over sides of dish as dessert bakes.


BAKE 55 min. to 1 hour or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 20 min. (Sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.) Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Spoon into serving dishes to serve warm. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

and voila..... you have....lemon cake:
