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!
