Lemon Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe & Giveaway

 I’m so excited to be featuring this delectable Semi-Homemade Lemon Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe from Rae!  Be sure to come back again next Monday when we’ll have another new recipe and giveaway posted! 

SEMI-HOMEMADE LEMON CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

 

Ingredients

1 box Yellow cake mix, plus the eggs, water and oil that is listed on cake mix
1 lemon

For the frosting

2 ½ cups confectioner sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 oz. cream cheese, cold from fridge
4 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions

Prepare cake mix as directed.  Then, add zest and juice of one lemon.  It gives a slight lemon flavor, add more or less to your liking.
Bake cake as directed on box.
Cool cake, then prepare frosting.
Whip cold cream cheese with softened butter.  Add vanilla, then confectioner sugar about ½ cup at a time.  I used 2 ½ cups, use 2 cups to start and add more to get the consistency you like.
Frost cake.  I store my cake in the fridge due to the frosting being cream cheese.

Enjoy!

Rae
