Ingredients
  

Bread
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 large box lemon pudding mix instant or cook and serve
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 ounces sour cream

  • 4 ounces butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Method
 

Make Bread
  1. Turn oven to 350 degrees. Line two loaf pans with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Combine all the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.
  3. Place all dry ingredients in a bowl, add one cup of the wet ingredients and mix on low speed for 15 seconds. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix on low speed for another 15-20 seconds. Do not over beat or the loaf will deflate.
  4. Divide batter evenly between two loaf pans.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden in color and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for five minutes before removing and cooling on a rack.
Make Topping
  1. Beat all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  2. Spread evenly on top of both loaves.
  3. Allow the topping to harden before slicing.
