Lemon Bliss Bundt Cake
When I was younger, I was definitely more of a chocolate girl. As I’ve gotten older, I find that my sweet tooth has switched gears a bit. The dessert flavor profile that I crave most often these days is lemon—Lemon, lemon, lemon! This easy lemon bundt cake recipe definitely hits the spot, and best of all, it’s really easy to make.
Lemon Bundt Cake Recipe
It’s no secret that I am a pretty big fan of shortcut dessert recipes. This easy lemon bliss bundt cake utilizes a yellow cake mix and lemon instant pudding to make a perfectly moist bundt cake.
I’ve even been thinking about making this a lemon blueberry bundt cake. I think some fresh blueberries in the batter would be a heavenly addition to this dessert.
I’ve also been wanting to experiment with this mini bundt cake pan
that I picked up. How insanely cute is it? Hello, my name is Crissy and I’m addicted to buying cute kitchen items on Amazon.

- In a medium bowl gradually add lemon juice to powdered sugar to desired consistency then beat in butter. Pour over the cake.
Did you make cake with the blueberries?
If so did you remove any of the dry cake mixe to coat the berries with prior to adding to the mixed cake batter? Did the berrie bleed into the baked cake
I made this over the weekend and it was SO good! Very light and lemony. I’ll definitely be making it again.
Are you supposed to complete the lemon pudding mix as per pudding instructions and then add to cake mix????
This recipe has been around for some time. It’s great! I make other Bundt cakes using different cake mixes and different instant puddings. Choc, vanilla, butterscotch, banana and vanilla.
Enjoy
