Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (18.5 ounces)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Grease and flour a 13” x 9” x 2” pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the cake mix, applesauce, eggs and water for 30 seconds on low speed to mix. Increase mixer to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes.
- Pour cake batter into prepared cake pan and bake 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool cake completely. Do not remove from cake pan.
- While cake is cooling, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until blended.
- Poke holes over the top of the cooled cake 1/2” apart.
- Spoon the glaze over the top of cake, allowing it to seep into holes. Eventually it will coat the top of the cake with an opaque covering.
- Chill thoroughly and serve.
Helpful hints
- The colder the cake, the better it tastes. This is a great recipe for spring and summer.
