Bridget's Recipe Corner

 

Sunday I was in the mood to make a cake, but I didn't really feel like a chocolate cake. Since I am a big fan of many things tart and tangy, I decided a lemon cake might be a nice change. As usual, I started the process a little late, so I kind of cheated and used a cake mix as my base. I  sometimes find these actually turn out better for me than those made from scratch. When I use a mix, I always make adjustments/additions so it has a little more flare. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. My "sweet lovers" said it did, so here's this week's recipe. Hope you enjoy it too.
 

B's White Chocolate/Lemon Bundt Cake

 

For the cake:
1 package Betty Crocker ® Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
1/2 package French Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
3 squares Ghiradelli White Chocolate Baking Bar, grated
2 t. freshly squeezed lemon juice
For the frosting:
4 T. Unsalted butter
4 squares Ghiradelli White Chocolate Baking Bar
2 oz. cream cheese
1/4 c. Vanilla creamer, optional
2-3 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare cake as directed, adding pudding mix to dry ingredients and lemon juice when liquid ingredients are added. Fold in grated white chocolate. Pour into greased Bundt pan and place in heated oven. While cake is baking, melt butter and white chocolate over low heat. When butter is melted, but not brown, remove from heat. Let cool 2-3 minutes. In the same pan, add cream cheese. With electric mixer, blend well. Gradually add powdered sugar, creamer and lemon. I like to taste the frosting after each addition and then adjust accordingly. When cake is finished baking, remove from oven. While the cake is still hot, use a long tinged fork and poke several holes in it. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the cake and let it sit for a couple of minutes to soak in. Carefully turn the cake over  onto plate. Using the same fork, poke several more holes on top and sides. Repeat frosting process. I let it sit for a minute or two and spread additional frosting on the cake.
