Easy Peasy Lemon Pound Cake

Yummy Lemon Pound Cake. Today is Foody Friday, and this is my first post for this weekly event. So click on Foody Friday, here and see what everyone is cooking up!


This is hands down the best Lemon Pound Cake ever! My mom started this tradition in our family and everyone who has this cake raves about it. It is so easy and always turns out perfect.

The ingredients are shown below and the recipe you will find on the side of every Duncan Hines Lemon Cake mix box.

See the recipe on the side? I will list it at the end of this post. I only use about 1/2 of this container. After removing the amount I need I put it in a small microwavable bowl and nuke it for 5-10 seconds, stir it until even consistency and then pour slowly around the top of the cooled cake,

So here are the ingredients. The Lemon Pudding must be the Instant kind. If you forget what you need just refer to the Lemon Cake box, hey it's always gonna be in the store.

Here is the recipe.

Cake

1 Pkg. Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Lemon Supreme Cake Mix

1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) lemon instant pudding and pie mix

4 lg eggs

1 cup water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

Glaze

1/2 cup Duncan hines creamy Home-style frosting (or Betty Crocker) I buy the lemon, but you could choose your favorite flavor too.

Outdoor Wednesday

I am participating in Outdoor Wednesday over at Southern Daydreamer. Go on over there and see all the beautiful posts.



All these pictures where taken last week here in Gainesville, FL. These first 2 pictures were taken near Satchel's a local favorite pizza place. I will have to do a post on the place in the future, it is a very unique place. I love this fence, it reminds me of a Crazy quilt.

On the same day I found this huge Camelia bush filled with a billion pink flowers.

They amazing creativity of our God.

One of those days when you feel the warmth of sun on your shoulders, but a strong cool breeze that reminds you it is still winter. But you are reminded by the trees and the flowers that new birth is coming with soon arrival of spring.

Just unfolding here.

New Thrifty Treasures

Woot, woot, I'm doing my happy dance. Found these Southern Living Prints today at the GW.
I love anything from Southern Living at Home, and these prints are something I have loved ever since I first saw them several years ago while having a SL party for a friend. I always felt they were asking too much for them. So when I saw these on the shelf I knew exactly what I was looking at, they are actually in their original packaging. I paid $7.99. I know exactly where I am going to put them too.

This is the artist name.

They are called Tuscan Countryside. I love the colors and they match just about everything in my house.

I have also been drawn to books at the GW. I found the top and the bottom design books for a buck each.

Rarely do I look for shoes at GW, but couldn't resist these. My husband calls them "s-h-i-t" kickers! They are BCBG Girls and hardly worn.

These are navy and look like they were never worn.

OK this is a small thing but the spoon rest is black and matches my cannisters, not bad for $.99.

These are a couple of neat books.

You never know what will turn up at the GW. Saw a friend there today with her beautiful baby girl. She picked up some beautiful eyelet white curtains from Pottery Barn Kids.

Chelsea at Room to Inspire is having a marvelous giveaway. So go on over there and check out her beautiful blog and enter for the giveaway.
