Instructions

  • Mix dry cake mix with remaining ingredients for 30 seconds on low speed, then beat on medium for 4 minutes. Bake in greased and floured Bundt or tube pan or 2 loaf pans for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Keep in pan if you want to top it with the glaze.
  • Brown Sugar Glaze: combine sugar, corn syrup and water in saucepan over low heat. Bring slowly to a boil and then boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add in lemon juice. Spoon warm glaze over cake while the cake is still in the pan. Cool completely before removing cake from the pan.
