Best Lemon Cake

I found this recipe by accident when I was looking touse a cake mix I had in the cupboard. Found it at www.duncanhines.com and it was called Icing in the cake. It turned out to taste a lot like the "creme cakes" they have at all the grocery stores here and it's super easy. Here are the ingredients:

1 Yellow Cake Mix
4 eggs
1 cup milk (I used 1%)
1/2 cup oil
1 can lemon frosting

STEPS:

1. Set oven to 350 degrees and grease a 12 cup tube or Bundt pan.

2. Combine all ingredients except frosting in a large bowl.

3. Add 3/4 of the can of frosting and pour into prepared pan.

4. Cook for 1 hour. Test with a knife to make sure it's done, but don't overcook.

5. While it cools, stir 2 tsp milk of milk (may need a little more) and 1 tsp of fresh lemon juice into reserved frosting. Turn the cooled cake onto a plate and drizzle the frosting over the top letting it dribble down the middle and sides. Enjoy!
