Moist Glazed Lemon Cake

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"No one will ever know this is made from a cake mix! I used Duncun Hines Classic white cake mix and Sprite soda for this, but any soda drink that has lemon is fine to use, add in some yellow food colouring also if desired ;-)"

This is really yummy! So moist!! I frosted them with Buttercream Dream #293896 rather than glaze them because I made them for a baby shower for my DIL and then topped them with candy ducks made from white chocolate melts. I did add the lemon zest. I gave out the recipe to several guests at the shower!!!

Another winner from Kittencal! Great cake, super easy to make and the flavor is delish. My only suggestion is to add the soda slowly and start mixing slowly because it will foam quite a bit in the beginning and I learned the hard way with stuff sloshing over the sides of the mixing bowl. Mine came out a nice yellow color without any food coloring. This recipe is a definite keeper.
