Christmas

This recipe starts with a lemon cake mix, which I love! As I’ve said before many times, I love that you know what you’re getting with a cake mix. When you use a cake mix, you know you’ll get a soft, moist, and flavorful result that you can recreate again and again. I used a Duncan Hines 15.25 ounce Lemon Supreme cake mix. You can use a different brand, but be aware that cake mixes do vary slightly in volume. There shouldn’t be a huge difference, but feel free to add a little extra milk to your batter if you use a bigger cake mix and the batter seems too thick.
