Ingredients
Instructions
- Put all ingredients except egg whites into a large mixing bowl and beat for 2 minutes.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter gently.
- Pour the batter into a 9 x 13-inch pan and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure you beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. You can substitute the lemon pudding mix with vanilla if you prefer a milder flavor. If you want to enhance the lemon flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter. This cake pairs beautifully with a light glaze or whipped cream.
Serving Suggestions
This Ale 8 One Cake is delightful on its own but can be served with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor. It’s a perfect dessert for gatherings or casual afternoons. Consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or serving alongside a slice of Flo'S Cabbage Casserole for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Once the cake has cooled, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or warm the whole cake in an oven at 300°F for 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of cake mix?
Yes, you can substitute the lemon supreme cake mix with any flavor you prefer, such as vanilla or orange. Keep in mind that this will change the overall flavor profile of the cake but can still yield delicious results.
Is it necessary to beat the egg whites separately?
While not strictly necessary, beating the egg whites separately and folding them in gently helps create a lighter, fluffier cake. If you're short on time, you can incorporate the whole eggs directly into the batter, but the texture may be denser.
Can I freeze this cake?
Yes, you can freeze the Ale 8 One Cake. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be stored frozen for up to three months. To enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
