A super easy recipe to make a delicious, moist, and lemony cake. For ease and convenience I made it with store-bought lemon curd but feel free to use homemade.

Ingredients

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix (such as Duncan Hines® Perfectly Moist Lemon Supreme)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (11 ounce) jar lemon curd
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2
Mix cake mix, eggs, water, and oil in a large bowl until well blended. Pour into the prepared cake pan.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 27 minutes. Transfer cake to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes.

Step 4
Poke holes into the top of the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon, about 1/2 inch apart.

Step 5
Pour lemon curd over the cake and spread with a spatula until lemon curd is absorbed into the holes. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 6
Frost with whipped topping and sprinkle with lemon zest. Keep refrigerated until serving.

Cook’s Notes:

I used store-bought lemon curd from Wilkin & Sons, LTD.
