Lemon Cake Mix Bread

We always love a non-yeast bread recipe that is delicious AND simple. Some may argue that using a cake mix to make bread is cheating but I think it’s genius.

The hubby claims this is his new favorite bread. I may have to agree with him. I’m not a HUGE Lemon fan, but this recipe had just the right amount of lemon that it wasn’t overwhelming at all. And the glaze on top was definitely my favorite part.

We can’t wait for you to try some of this delicious bread!! If you like Lemon and White Chocolate I’d definitely give this one a try.

How to make

COMBINE. Mix cake mix, pudding mix, oil and eggs in a bowl with a beater until well combined. Add sour cream, lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix by hand. Pour into greased loaf pans.

BAKE. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes (For smaller loaf pans, bake for about 15 minutes). Let cool.

GLAZE. Poke holes in the top of the bread and drizzle with glaze (To make, mix 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, juice and zest of one lemon – add more lemon juice if glaze is too thick). ENJOY!

Tips + Storing Info

  • Use a different flavor of pudding mix for the glaze, lemon or vanilla pudding make great options to sub for the white chocolate.
  • Substitute plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for sour cream. Just make sure that you arenโ€™t using the low fat varieties.
  • Make mini-loaves of this bread. Fill your mini pans no more than ยฝ way full and check on them every 5 min after 25 min of cooking. Once a toothpick comes out clean they are ready to take out of the oven.

Make this bread ahead of time and FREEZE (before you add the glaze) for up to 6 months. Once it has cooled simply wrap it in plastic wrap and then store it in a Ziploc freezer bag or wrapped in aluminum foil. It would also be best to wait to add the glaze until after you have thawed it in the fridge overnight, and then brought it to room temperature.

STORE covered in in the fridge for a few days.

    I love anything with LEMON but adding that white chocolate pudding mix… makes this bread look divine ๐Ÿ™‚ It would be fun to drizzle melted white chocolate over the bread as well!

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      Totally agree, Amanda! Will have to try that out. Thanks for stopping by! ๐Ÿ˜€

      Let me know if you do. It’s seriously my new favorite bread! ๐Ÿ˜€

  5. Crystal says:

    Looks delicious!! I agree with you….I’m a little hesitant about making anything with yeast. I have tried a couple of recipes and they actually turned out pretty good. But, it I can make bread without yeast, it is great!! Thanks for the great recipe!!

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      SO glad you like it Crystal! Have a great day. ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. Lisa @ Wine & Glue says:

    Kristyn, this bread looks delicious!! I was super nervous about using yeast too until I discovered a thermometer especially for yeast! It gives you this little window of how hot your water has to be to make the yeast grow, and now I’m making perfect pizza dough. And . . . realizing this sounds like spam. I swear I don’t sell them, lol!

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      I’m just now seeing this comment. Sounds like I need to get me one of those thermometers!! Thanks for the tip. ๐Ÿ™‚
