RECIPES USING POUND CAKE MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°.
• Lightly grease a 10-inch tube pan with vegetable shortening, then dust it with flour.
• Place the butter and oil in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until creamy, 1 minute.
• Add the sugar and beat until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating each until the yolks of the eggs have just been incorporated.
• Add cake mix, 1 cup of flour, sour cream, evaporated milk, and vanilla.
• Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the batter is thick and well blended, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer, scraping down the side of the bowl if necessary.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan, and bake the cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with a finger, 60 to 65 minutes.
• Remove the tube pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
• Run a dinner knife around the edge of the cake, shake it gently to loosen it, and invert onto a rack, then invert it again onto another rack so that the cake is right side up.
• Allow the cake to cool completely, 20 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and grease bundt pan.
• Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water and oil in large bowl. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour into pan.
• Bake at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (I cook mine for 50 mins.) Cool in pan 25 minutes. Invert onto heat resistant serving plate. Cool completely.
• For glaze, place frosting in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power 10 to 15 seconds. Stir until smooth. Repeat if necessary. Do not over heat. Add Lemon extract one teaspoon at a time until desired flavor is reached. Stir well. (I use 2 teaspoons for a moderate lemon taste. Add more according to preference.) Drizzle over cake.
