Ingredients

1 (15.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1 cup sour cream
4 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 (3 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
1 lemon, zested, or more to taste
1 tablespoon poppy seeds, or more to taste (Optional)
½ teaspoon lemon extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube cake pan.
Beat cake mix, sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon juice, pudding mix, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and lemon extract together in a bowl with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium; beat for 3 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Tap the pan firmly a few times, then shake it gently to loosen the cake. Place the wire rack over the pan and invert to release cake onto the rack; cool completely.

Good New Orleans Creole Gumbo

I am going to give you my Creole gumbo recipe. I learned to cook from my mother and grandmother who were born and raised in New Orleans and really knew how to cook. Most of the time, you could not get them to write down their recipes because they used a "pinch" of this and "just enough of that" and so on. This recipe is a combination of both of their recipes which I have added to over the years. Serve over hot cooked rice.
