For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding lemon zest to the cake batter or glaze.
If you don't have instant lemon pudding mix, you can substitute it with vanilla pudding mix and increase the amount of lemon juice in the glaze to taste.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
