1 Box of Lemon Cake Mix

1 Box Instant Lemon Pudding

4 eggs

1/2c oil

1/2c water

1 cup sour cream

 

1-Mix all ingredients in mixer and pour into 2 greased round cake pans.

2-Bake 350 degrees for 25-35 min-when toothpick comes out clean..

3-While cake is baking and then cooling completely, make icing:

 

LEMON CREAM CHEESE ICING

½-1 block cream cheese (left out for a bit to soften)

1/3 cup (soft) butter

2 lb bag powdered sugar

2 lemons

2-3 T Milk (If needed)

 

1-Cream butter and cream cheese. 

*Use full block of cream cheese if you love cream cheese icing. Use a little less if like me, you are more of a buttercream icing person.

2-Squeeze lemon juice through a strainer.

3-Slowly add powdered sugar until thick frosting consistency and to taste. I use about 3/4 of a 2 lb bag.

4-Add a Tbsp at a time of milk, half & half, or heavy whipping cream, if icing is too thick.
