Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan generously to ensure the cake doesn’t stick. |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Combine with the lemon pudding mix, eggs, oil, and water as indicated on the package to create a smooth, lump-free batter. |
| 3 | Pour the batter evenly into the prepared 10-inch tube pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even bake. |
| 4 | Place the cake in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. |
| 5 | Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 6 | Once the cake is fully cooled, use a serrated knife to slice it horizontally into three even layers. Gently lift off each layer, being careful to maintain their shape. |
| 7 | Spread one-third of the prepared lemon pudding mixture between each layer, building up the layers as you go. Spread the final third on the top layer for a thick, tangy topping. |
| 8 | Generously top the cake with Cool Whip, creating a light, fluffy “meringue” effect. |
| 9 | Place the finished cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld. Slice, serve, and enjoy this refreshing Mock Lemon Meringue Cake! |
