Lemon Sparkle Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 10-inch bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside. Feel free to flour your pan if needed, but I usually don't.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix, then stir in the oil. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in soda. Add orange extract and zest, if using, and mix well.
3. 3
   Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle. I start checking after about 30 minutes to be sure.
4. 4
   Allow to cool before frosting or glazing. I use lemon juice and confectioner's sugar to glaze mine, but feel free to use milk in place of juice.

   Tip: you can also use this recipe with the orange and strawberry flavored cake mixes. They are VERY good as well.
