Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 box instant lemon pudding
- 2/3 cup oil
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, instant lemon pudding, oil, water, eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest. Mix until just combined.
