Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 12-cup bundt pan or a 10-inch fluted tube pan by coating it with no-stick cooking spray and dusting with flour.
- In a large bowl, mix the cake batter by combining the cake mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon juice, finely grated lemon peel, and lime peel.
- Use an electric mixer to blend on low speed for one minute, then increase to medium speed and mix for an additional two minutes.
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake for 40 to 44 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting
- Microwave the frosting mixed with the additional lemon and lime juice in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 to 40 seconds until warm, then stir well.
- Drizzle the warm frosting over the cooled cake.
Notes
For added texture, consider using poppy seeds or fresh citrus zest. Also, allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to avoid a melty mess. Candied lemon or lime peel can be used as a garnish.
