• You will need a piping bag, stand or hand mixer, and metal palette knife to pipe icing onto cakes or cupcakes.
• Preheat oven to 350°

Instructions

• Never forget to grease and line your cake or cupcake pans before beginning to bake!
• Combine milk and butter in a large bowl before stirring in the lemon cake mix. Set your mixer to low speed for one minute monitor so everything can blend together nicely.
• : Add the eggs one at a time, slowly increasing the speed as you go. The goal is to have all of your ingredients combined into a velvety batter that drips in ribbons off of your rubber spatula.
• Follow the cook time indicated on the box for your cake or cupcake pan in order to have a delicious and correctly proportioned finished product.
• To make the buttercream frosting, you need two sticks of room-temperature butter. Start by putting the butter in a bowl and beat it on medium speed using a stand mixer until it is smooth; this process takes several minutes.
• After the butter melts, set your mixer to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Once all of it has been added, mix for 1-2 minutes before adding 2 tablespoons of hazelnut creamer and one drop of Terpinolene. Lastly, mix on low for another minute or two while scraping down the sides (if the mixture looks too dry, add a tablespoon of creamer).
• After you take the cakes out of the oven, resist icing them for a minimum of one hour to allow them to cool completely.
• After your cakes have cooled, ice them using either a lemon glaze or whipped cream. I served mine to some friends alongside Jack Herer so we could compare taste, and we were all amazed by how similar they were! I hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as we did!
