LEMON BOXED CAKE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
• Place all but 1 tablespoon cake mix in a large bowl. Add milk, Neufchatel cheese, eggs, and lemon zest and beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes.
• Place blueberries in a separate bowl and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon cake mix until coated. Fold into cake batter and transfer to the prepared Bundt® pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Set on a wire rack until completely cooled, about 30 minutes.
• Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice for glaze in a small bowl. Mix together until desired consistency, adding more lemon juice a bit at a time, if needed.
• Run a table knife around the edges of pan to loosen cake. Invert carefully onto a serving plate and slowly pour glaze over top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
• Divide mixture equally between 2 greased 9" round cake pans.
• Bake on both pans on middle oven rack for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes then remove cakes from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
• Place one cake (the "bottom" one) on a plate and frost with cream cheese frosting, taking care to make it heavier on top.
• Place the other cake (the "top" cake) on top of the already frosted cake to create a layer cake.
• Frost the top cake so it blends with the bottom cake and forms a two-tier layer cake.
• NOTE: If the cakes are not flat on the top, use a long knife to cut the "baking bump" off so they are flat BEFORE you frost them. It will give them a more uniform appearance.
