This is a really good summertime cake. Very refreshing. Cake: 1 lemon cake mix 1 pkg lemon instant pudding 4 eggs 1/3 cup oil 1 cup water Mix for 3 minutes and pour into a tube/bunt pan that has been greased and floured. Bake for 50-60 min. Until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan 10 min. Mix a small can of frozen lemonade that has been thawed to room temp with 3/4 cup of gran. white sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Poke holes all over the cake and pour the lemonade/sugar mixture over it carefully. Let the cake cool 20 min in the pan before turning it out onto a plate. Now, I didnt have a small can of lemonade. So I mixed the large can with l cup sugar and poured half of it over the cake. Knowing that my dear husband would whine because it didnt have frosting I made this. I put the half lemonade mix in the mixing bowl with a large block of cream cheese. Whipped it until it was creamy. Then I added powdered sugar until I had a thick glaze. Poured it over the cake. Yummy. Now I have to figure out what to put the leftover glaze on. His only comment was...Well, its tart...so I said fine I'll send it to school with Tamie. He's had 2 more pieces since then. Says it growson you. Phooy. Its a good summer cake.

I hope I have enough money to get a can of lemonade this week. I have everything else. I really want to try this! Thank you for posting it, Peggy.

I was copying a cake my daughter bought from a caterer for my birthday. I knew when I tasted it that the cake part was the lemon pound cake recipe off the side of a Duncan Hines cake mix. I googled it and found a recipe that had the glaze. I'm thinking that the caterer used powdered sugar in the glaze instead of regular sugar. I may try that next time. The next time I make a regular cake and want lemon frosting I'm goin to use the cream cheese stuff I made up. Its delicious. With more sugar it would have turned into a nice spreadable frosting.

Valerie, make cupcakes and freeze them.
On the subject of cupcakes, why does a cake mix make 24 cupcakes, but, if you make a cake, it's only 12 servings? Isn't a cupcake one serving?

See, thing is, I can eat a big old slab at one time, but then I won't want any more for a long time and it will go bad. How do you think it would do, to bake a bundt cake, slice it up, and freeze the slices individually? Think they'd be any good when they thawed, or would they probably dry out?

I think they'd be good. They sell individual slices of cake in the refrigerated section here and they're fine. I think that would dry it out more than the freezer. I would wrap them individually, then put them all in one bigger container or ziplock. That way, they'd be double wrapped. It would make it easier to find them, too.
I'm the same way about desserts, especially cake. I want one piece, not even a big one, and that's it.

I freeze cake and muffins all the time. When I want a piece of cake I simply take it out and warm it in the microwave a few seconds to thaw it out or heat it enough to smear it with butter!

I do, too! It's especially good on pound cake.

Hmmmm, what a good idea! I like a nice piece of cake -- now and then, not all at once. And I hate making cupcakes. I think it's the frosting part that I don't like. This way, Dave and I could have our cake and eat it too! LOL! As opposed to throwing part of it away because it's turning green!
