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 aren’t using the low fat varieties.
- Make mini-loaves of this bread. Fill your mini pans no more than ½ 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.

Absolutely fabulous!!!!
Thank you so much!!
The printer is ready the page comes up with the recipe and it says “print”, but there is a gray page that comes up but no recipe on there.
I’m not sure why it does?? I just tried on my computer & the recipe card pops up, not a gray blank page. It might be something on your end?? Not sure what it could be :/ I hope you get it figured out 🙂
I still cannot get your recipes to copy! I can get to the print and click on that but the recipe does get to the printer!
Could you write them out? I know that’s what my mom likes to do, when she is having computer problems. It’s just an option.
My favourite combination of flavours ! Thank you so much !
One of my new favorites 🙂 Thank you for stopping by!
Stupid question but what weight should the lemon cake mix and the pudding mix be? Cant wait to make this for my hubby who loves anything Lemon. Thanks
Sorry also meant to say will angel delight be ok?
The lemon cake mix is about 15.25 ounces & the pudding is like 3.4 ounces or close to that. He will love it!
Thank you so much, thats such a great help
No problem! I’d love to know what you think, after you try it 🙂

How many loafs does this make?
Hello Kristyn, I just recently stumbled across your awesome site a few days ago while I was on Pinterest. I tried your Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake the other night and it was absolutely heavenly & Delicious! So of course I just had to explore your site even more to see what other tasty morsels I wanted to try. lol 🙂 So many easy & scrumptious looking recipes I have already saved to try, but I was a little confused when I came across a few of your recipes like this white chocolate lemon bread one in which you mention a portion (small) white chocolate instant pudding mix instead of an actual weight in ounces or grams. I am aware the Jello company makes many flavors in these instant puddings, and they can be purchased on Amazon, but I do not use Amazon at the moment, and since I live in a smaller city in BC, Canada, I do not have access to all Jellos’ pudding flavors. Pretty limited here lol. The Giant Mega stores do not even spoil us with stocking the limited edition holiday flavors 🙁 You say (small) size, but I am only aware of one size in these puddings 99-133g approx. for most flavors, and the awesome white chocolate one is not available here at all, except in the fat free version (a much smaller size at only 32g). No access either to a no-name brand of white chocolate instant mix. I know you mention vanilla pudding as a replacement on a couple recipes, but I would much rather have that subtle white chocolate flavor lol. So my curious question in my confusion is … what size weight is small and would the fat free (32g) be considered too small? 😉 Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipes so generously. I will be baking & cooking up a storm for years to come 🙂
Oh, thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you stopped by!! The small boxes are like 3.9 ounces. I know that some places do not carry certain things, so I’m so sorry about that!! I know you said you would like the white chocolate flavor, but vanilla pudding is the next best. Next time you’re visiting somewhere, you’ll have to check their stores and stock up 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions!!! Happy baking/cooking!!
Thank you so much for your reply and for letting me know Kristyn. I look forward to giving this one a whirl through the kitchen with a couple of the fat free smaller white chocolate pudding mixes I can get my hands on here lol 😉 Will keep me eyes pealed for the regular white chocolate and any holiday ones during the festive seasons 😀
You’re welcome and good luck!!! Happy baking 🙂
This recipe looks amazing and I cannot wait to make it, but I have a quick question. Adding water to the mix is not listed as an ingredient, is that correct? Look forward to your reply and to both gifting and eating this delicious lemon piece of heaven. Thank you!
Yes, that’s correct, Rhona… there is no water in the recipe. Let me know how it goes. I promise you’ll love it! ;D
Thank you so much for the quick reply and clarification!
Btw, my entire reply did not go through. Ugh! I am looking forward to gifting these tomorrow, on a picture frame (as the platter, featuring your recipe inside), with a piece of parchment paper around the middle and tied with yellow and white twine! I bet all my girls will adopt this recipe as a go-to in the future! Thanks and I’ll keep you posted!
Let me know how it goes! I hope they love it. 🙂
You’re welcome! 🙂
