Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix and lemon pudding mix. Add the eggs and water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the ingredients are well blended and the batter is smooth.

Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
