Lemonade Bundt Cake
 
If you love lemon desserts then you’re going to love this easy to make Lemonade Bundt Cake. 
 
It’s also dense and moist, which is exactly what I look for in a cake. To say my family loved it would be a huge understatement.  And did I mention that it was so easy?
 
The lemonade glaze is definitely the source of most of the lemon flavor, so I wouldn’t make any substitutions there. But feel free to add some lemon zest to the cake batter for even more lemon flavor.
 
Although you can use more or less powdered sugar depending on whether you’d like your glaze runny, or more frosting-like.

If I have a bit of extra time, I’ll make some candied lemons to garnish this cake with. But it’s absolutely perfect served as is!
 
My favorite way to serve this cake is with some fresh berries and homemade whipped cream, especially in the summer when fresh berries are in season.
 
And yes, starting with a cake mix is kind of cheating, but I’m all for kitchen shortcuts that save time and still yield beautiful results.
 
This Lemonade Bundt Cake is one of those go-to recipes that’s easy to make but good enough for company. It’s destined to become a favorite at your house too!

    my mouth is watering just reading the recipe. Going to make it today. How much lemonade concentrate did you use in the glaze? Thanks

  • HELP! WHICH CAKE MIX FLAVOR DOES THIS CALL FOR? The recipe doesn’t specify – am I supposed to use white, yellow, butter flavor? I can’t find lemon box cake.

  • I am looking for a lemon or lemonade cake recipe. WHY must all the recipes use cake mixes and instant pudding? I avoid them because I NEVER understood the logic of using cake mixes plus cake mixes and instant pudding are full of GMOs!

    I will be trying this!

  • What a great spring dessert. You can never go wrong with a good bundt!

  • The perfect dessert for me

  • Gina @ Kleinworth & Co.

    Mmmm- that sounds so good. I so wish we all were not allergic to citrus. It’s so delish-

  • This sounds absolutely delicious! I have never heard of including lemonade in a cake recipe before~
