Super Easy Lemon Cake


What do you get when you mix yours truly, her best gay and a fun cake pan?  This delicious cake that is super easy to make and will have people worshipping the ground that you walk on.  

I used a sand castle cake pan from Williams Sonoma to create the beauty above.  I personally think that the brown sugar "sand" was a genius touch.  If you don't own a fancy schmancy cake pan then feel free to use a regular bundt pan.  Not as cute, but just as delicious.

Ingredients
1 box Lemon Cake Mix
1 can Cream Cheese Frosting
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs
1 cup water

1.  Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
2.  Mix together all of the ingredients.
3.  Spoon into the bundt pan.
4.  Bake for 1 hour.  Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before removing it.

To add a little pizzazz, I drizzle the cake with a lemon sugar sauce.  

Sugar Sauce:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

1.  Mix the two ingredients above in a small pan over medium heat.  
2.  Keep cooking until the sugar is completely dissolved.  

**Play around with the amount of lemon juice.  If you want it really tart, use more lemon juice.  If you want it really sweet, use less lemon juice.
