DH's favorite cake in all the world is poundcake, but I didn't feel like the bother today, and didn't have a box of poundcake mix in my pantry.

So I googled this hack and it is absolutely delicious....

• 1 box cake mix (I used lemon)
• 1 4.5 oz package of instant pudding (I used vanilla)
• 1 cup water
• 4 eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil

No fancy directions - mix it all together on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until lumps are gone.  I used a loaf pan and it took about 45 minutes at 350°

@house_cat @This looks good. What brand of cake mix and what kind of oil did you use?

Don't know where you got the recipe,but I have one like that that I got from an old BH&G magazine and it is great.

This was the cake mix. I used vegetable oil.

Lemon Glaze or Plain Glaze?

Looks delicious @house_cat.  Would you mind sharing your glaze recipe?

yes, i have done this hack before! i have also changed up the pudding flavors, change the water to a juice, and/or add extracts to make a flavored pound cake.

another one i recommend is a SOCK IT TO ME CAKE. this one can be changed around a bit also.

Love pound cake!!! I used boxed mixes to make my boozy bundt cakes for xmas gifts years ago--everyone raved about them.

Yesterday I made a banana bread using mayo---and it turned out not awful!! Kind of off subject but ----the ghosties made me do it!!!!
