Slap Ya Momma Lemon Cake 🍋🍰 is a rich, ultra-moist lemon dessert that’s famous online for its intense lemon flavor and creamy lemon glaze. It’s usually made with a lemon cake base, lemon pudding, and a sweet lemon icing that soaks into the cake.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 small box instant lemon pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup sour cream (makes it extra moist)
For the Lemon Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup lemon juice (fresh preferred)
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional but boosts flavor)
