Lemon Pudding Chiffon Cake with
Lemon Buttercream Frosting

The addition of pudding mix makes a light and fluffy cake with a moist crumb. Because it's such a moist cake it can be topped with a simple dusting of confectioners' sugar. If you desire a frosting, you can't beat the Lemon Buttercream Frosting.

  2. Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top if desired.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
