Happy Easter

A very different Easter for all of us this year, but we can still make it special.  Our dinner won't be ham and scalloped potatoes.  We are having chicken and carrots and mashed potatoes with lemon cake for dessert.
I found a recipe online but I didn't have all the ingredients which is quite normal for me.  So I altered it.  It is absolutely delicious.  I'm posting the recipe so if you feel so inclined you can make it and if your have a neighbour who has been kind to you, you can share it with them.  My half went to our son's house.  They have been our grocery shoppers.
Lemon Bundt Cake Recipe
BUNDT PAN
Generously grease and flour your pan remembering to do the centre part.
OVEN
Preheat oven to 350*F
CAKE
1 pkg lemon cake mix (Betty Crocker)
1 pkg instant vanilla pudding
½ cup water
½ cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil (I use Canola)
4 large eggs
In a large mixing bowl, put in the dry ingredients and gradually add your liquids while your mixer is on low speed.  Add the eggs one at a time and then beat for 2 minutes.  Before putting in your Bundt cake pan, stir to make sure it is well blended.
Pour cake mix into prepared pan and place in centre of oven.  Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick (I use a knife) inserted in the centre comes out clean.  My cake took exactly 40 minutes.
Remove from oven when done and immediately turn upside down on a cooling rack until it is completely cool.  Turn out of pan.

TOPPING
1 package lemon instant pudding mix prepared according to the directions on the package.
TO SERVE
On each slice of cake, top with the lemon pudding.  I added some Cool Whip to my lemon pudding to give it a bit more pizzazz!  I love pizzazz.  It is up to you how much Cool Whip you use.  I just kept tasting it.

ENJOY
Have a wonderful week-end
