Lemon Drop Cake





LEMON DROP Cake.  Who in this whole wide world doesn't love Lemon Drops? This is super duper yummy! :)

Lemon Drop Cake

Ingredients:
  • 1 box Lemon Cake Mix (18 Ounce Box)
  • 1-¼ cup Water
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • ⅓ cups Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ cups Fresh Lemon Juice From One Large Lemon
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 pound Tub Of Lemon Frosting

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Make the lemon cake mix as directed on package by adding the water, eggs and vegetable oil.

Pour batter into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center.

Normally I like to use 2 round cake pans, and that way I have 2 cute little round cakes, but please feel free to use the 9×13 pan instead. (Just check the bake time specified on the cake mix box for whatever size pan you use).

Now, while the cake is baking, take your fresh lemon, and squeeze enough juice to make 1/4 cup. Normally 1 large lemon does the trick, but I always buy 2 just in case. If I have half a lemon left over, I just use it for my ice tea or in my water glass.

Mix the fresh lemon juice with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Use a fork and mix mix mix it really well. You will have to be sure to mash up the little clumps of powdered sugar.

When cake is finished, take it out of the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes. When the time is up, gently poke some holes all over the cake with a fork. Don’t go too crazy, just a couple here and there will do. No need to aerate the entire thing.

Spread the lemon glaze goodness around with the back of your spoon. Now place the cake in the refrigerator for 2 hours.


Once the glazed cake is nicely chilled, now is the fun part. My little frosting SECRET. Take your tub o’ frosting, take off the lid and the tin foil thingy. Pop the tub into the microwve for 20 seconds. Take out and stir it all up. It should be soft, and just barely pourable. Pour only 3/4 of the tub on the cake and use the back of your spoon to frost the cake. Do that “wrist twist” to make the nice little swirls.

Now, take the last of the frosting, there should be 1/4 left, and pop it back in the microwave for about 12 seconds. It should be nice and runny now. Take your spoon and stir it up.

Now stand over the cake and keep dipping the spoon in the runny frosting and drizzle swirls all over the top of the cake. It should have a 3-D look to it.

Soooo pretty. All this beauty from a regular old tub ‘ frosting!

Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding

I usually end up making too much rice whenever I cook it. I usually make a simple snack of the leftovers by adding some salted butter, or throwing it into Monday night stir-fry when I use up any leftover veggies or whatnot. However, this time I decided to try something different. I wanted to make some rice pudding, but I had no cream or whole milk, and didn't feel like stirring over a pot forever. So I whipped up this simple coconut rice pudding. It uses leftover rice, 2% milk (though whole would be fantastic), and some fresh vanilla because, well, I love vanilla. If you have some coconut flakes, I would highly suggest you garnish with them. Simple and easy, it's a nice little way to use up that extra rice. Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding Ingredients: 2 cups of whole or 2% milk 1 vanilla bean, insides scraped out 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of cold cooked rice 1/3 cup of sugar Directions: Combine all the ingredients together in a saucepan and simmer over me...

Creamy Peach Pie

This creamy peach pie is SO light and fluffy. It really is the perfect low-cal dessert for summer. You could even chop up fresh peaches and put them in the pie for extra-peachy flavor! Creamy Peach Pie Ingredients: 1/4 cup water 1 0.3-oz package of sugar free peach Jell-o* 2 6-oz containers of peach yogurt (I used Yoplait Light) 1 8-oz tub fat free cool whip, thawed 1 pre-made graham cracker crust Directions: In a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat water for 45-90 seconds or until boiling. Whisk in Jell-o until dissolved. In a large bowl, whisk together Jell-o mixture and yogurt. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread in crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set. Garnish as desired - I topped mine with frozen peaches and whipped cream. Store in refrigerator. *I have never made this recipe using any other kind of Jell-o except for sugar free. I am not sure if it would work with regular Jell-o because the size of the packages are so much different.
