Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 1 package Pillsbury White Cake Mix For a light and fluffy foundation, this cake mix allows for easy preparation without compromising flavor.
  • 1 cup sour cream Adds richness and moisture to the cake.
  • 1/2 cup oil (such as vegetable or canola) Contributes to the cake's lovely crumb while amplifying its moistness.
  • 4 large eggs Acts as a binder for the cake.
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel Brightens up the flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime peel Adds a refreshing note that complements the lemon.
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice For essential tanginess.

For the Frosting

  • 1 can Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Vanilla Frosting A sweet and creamy topping.
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice Intensifies the citrus flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice Adds additional brightness.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a bundt or fluted tube pan by spraying it with cooking spray and dusting it with flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon juice, lemon peel, and lime peel. Use an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, then on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan evenly.

Baking

  • Bake for 40 to 44 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  • Once baked, cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the frosting and lemon and lime juice. Microwave for 20-40 seconds, stirring until smooth and pourable.
  • Once the cake is cooled, drizzle the frosting over the top.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Do not overmix the batter to keep it fluffy.
