Mountain Dew Cake

I am finally getting around to blogging about this wonderful cake. After making those outrageous apple dumplings, I came across this recipe for Mountain Dew Cake at another blog called Patti’s Pantry. I figured it was worth a try since I sill had Mountain Dew left in my fridge from making the apple dumplings.
The recipe is similar to a couple of really good bundt cake recipes that I have in my tried and true file. The recipes all call for cake mix and pudding mix. The main difference between them is that the two recipes I have use sour cream, where this recipes uses Mountain Dew. I also like the whole idea of a citrus flavored cake at this time of year. Well, my whole family absolutely loved the cake. It is so moist and delicious with a yummy lemon flavor. It was good just the way it is, but I think it would be even better with a powdered sugar citrus glaze on top. Next time, I’m going to try it with the glaze on it. Thanks Patti!
