It’s easy to make and always turns out beautifully golden brown. Plus, it’s the same recipe Mama Kris used to make for Lamar Odom, as seen on The Kardashians.

Here’s an instructional video from my YouTube Channel:
Step 1: Prepare the Bundt Pan
Grease and lightly flour your bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
Step 2: Mix the Batter to Make This Kris Jenner Lemon Cake Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Duncan Hines lemon cake mix, lemon instant pudding mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil.

Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Bake Kris Jenner’s Famous Lemon Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan on the middle rack of your oven and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 45-55 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Cool the Cake

Remove the lemon cake from the oven and let it cool in the bundt pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.

Then, remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack or serving plate.
NOTE: Using a wire rack is best, so the bottom of the cake doesn’t get damp.
Step 5: Make the Lemon Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. For a thicker frosting, reduce the amount of lemon juice slightly.
Step 6: Glaze the Cake

Drizzle the glaze generously over the top of the cake, letting it cascade down the side of the cake for a beautiful finish.

For an extra touch, garnish with lemon zest and mint leaves.
