Instructions
For Candied Lemon Slices:
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine sugar and water.
Cook until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
Add lemon slices in a single layer, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until they're slightly translucent, and the rinds are soft.
Using tongs, remove lemon slices and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Store candied lemon slices for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
For Lemon Bundt Cake:
In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. The batter will be thick!
Spread the batter evenly into a well-greased tube pan or angel food cake pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean, and the edges are golden brown.
Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Do not allow cake to cool completely in pan or it will stick!
Meanwhile, prepare glaze.
For Lemon Glaze:
In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest, until smooth.
Once the cake is cool, drizzle with glaze, and cover cake with candied lemon slices, if desired.
