Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven and Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the cake ingredients: cake mix, cake flour, sugar, sour cream, butter, eggs, oil, water, vanilla extract, butter flavoring, and almond extract.
  • Beat the mixture until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure a light, airy texture.

  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Cool the Cake

  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • After cooling, carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Prepare the Glaze

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until well blended. The glaze should be smooth and pourable.

6. Glaze the Cake

  • Once the cake is completely cool, pour the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

  • Slice the cake and serve it to your family and friends. Enjoy this delightful treat!

Tips for Success:

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Customize Your Cake: Feel free to add lemon zest to the batter or glaze for an extra burst of lemon flavor. You can also incorporate fresh berries or nuts into the batter for added texture and flavor.
  • Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
