Recipe Box, Lemon Sunshine Cake 3 ways
One cake, 3 desserts!
This Lemon Sunshine Cake will brighten any day!
Make a traditional bundt cake or mini “bundtlettes” or cupcakes
Or make parfaits!
And, always the best part,
It is very easy to make!
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs. melted butter, milk and sour cream
Fill a prepared bundt pan, bundtlette pan or cupcake pan with batter
Bake according to directions on cake mix box
Time will depend on size and pan type
Check often near the end of bake time so you don’t overbake
After cooling, I trimmed the excess edges off the bundtlettes,
cut them in 1/2 horizontally and
spread a generous layer of lemon curd on the bottom half
I used prepared cream cheese icing to top them
Garnish the tops with lemon zest and white chocolate curls
You can also cut the cake into cubes
Make a parfait with layers of cake, lemon curd, white chocolate chips
I made these parfaits in green stemmed goblets,
but this would make a great dessert in a jar recipe too
Top with Cool Whip
You can use real whipped cream,
but I find that Cool Whip holds up better for desserts that aren’t served right away
It’s nice to have a serving of dessert ready to enjoy straight from the fridge
Or make a traditional bundt cake
These would be lovely Easter desserts too 🐇🌷
Any way you choose, I think you’ll love this Lemon Sunshine Cake!

Jenna, I love the bright taste of lemon and this looks so delicious and easy. I notice the lemon curd jar said new, I usually make mine, but would love to have a store bought one to keep in my pantry. If only, I had one of those with my coffee right now. Wishing you a lovely first day of spring!
This brand has actually been around for a while, not sure why it says New, but it’s really good…I got it at Publix in the jelly section. Yes, Happy Spring!
What a celebration of the lemon! Everything from the luscious batter which I would probably want to eat with a spoon, through all the transformations, and the beautiful painting!!!! Happy Spring my friend!
I always crave lemon this time of year! Thanks Dorothy 🍋
I still haven’t tried lemon curd… Gotta get on that:@) Wish I had a big piece of the bundt cake right now!
ha ha, the name unfortunately isn’t very appetizing, but it’s so good you can eat it right out of the jar!
You’re talking my language — all lemon, all the time! Love all of these variations!
thanks Jeanie! 🍋
