Serving Size: 9

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 18.25 Ounces (oz) package yellow cake mix, packaged
• 5 Tablespoons (tbsp) instant lemon pudding mix, packaged
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.25 Cups butter, softened
• 0.33 Cups water
• 0.125 Cups applesauce

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan to ensure easy removal of the cake.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the packaged yellow cake mix and packaged instant lemon pudding mix. This will enhance the lemon flavor and add moisture to the cake.
3. Add the eggs, softened butter, water, and applesauce to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and well combined. The applesauce adds moisture and a subtle sweetness, reducing the need for additional sugar.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean.
6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, serve the cake surrounded by fresh flowers for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy the zesty lemon flavor with a cup of tea or coffee.
