Perfect Lemon Cake

My hubby is not a big fan of Lemon Cake and I am.... however I converted him with this recipe, he now requests Lemon Cake all the time. Enjoy....

Perfect Lemon Cake
From: You Got Served

Cake:
1 package lemon cake mix
1 Cup sour cream
3/4 c water
3/4 c oil
4 eggs
1 small package lemon instant pudding

Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Mix wtih electrci mixer on medium speed for about two minutes. Pour into greased 9x11 pan or two round pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 mintes. Dont overbake or the cake will be to dry!

You can make cupcakes and bake them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. The cupcakes will fall after they come out of the overn, but this is normal. Just fill up the indentation with more frosting.

Frosting:
1 Cup (2 sticks) butter, very soft
6-8 Cups powdered sugar
1/2 C fresh lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon zest

Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of sugar, then the juice and the zest. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, untl ixing is thick enough to be a good spreading consistency. Use and store at room temperature. (Don't refrigerate and it will last in a covered container for about three days._


Granish with berries if desired.
