directions
- In a large bowl, cream butter and 2 cups confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour and vanilla, and then lemon peel. Turn batter into greased 9 inch tube pan, cake pan or bundt pan.
- Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until done. Cool. Remove cake from pan, and invert onto serving plate.
- In a large bowl, blend together, the lemon juice and 2 cans of condensed milk until thick and smooth.
- Reserve 1/2 of this mixture(about 1 1/2 c) to be used later --
- Place the remaining mixture between the cake layer
- With the remaining mixture, combine it with the whipped topping- this is to be used as frosting.
- Place both the cake and the frosting in the refrigerator about 30 minutes, this make the frosting easier to work with.
- Frost cake with frosting and place back into frig - this cakes is even better if kept in the fridge overnight.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a homeschooling mother of 8. We have chickens, goats and emus, as well as a year round veggie garden.
My children help me cook most of the time, so I tend to look for recipes that are kid friendly and don't take a ton of time to prep.
We are a mostly Feingold/Organic family and my main focus is good for you foods, but easy to make with a flair or twist.
I experiment a lot with known recipes and I have come up with some amazing ones over the years and love to share with others.
My ultimate cake right now is the german chocolate carob cake. My goal in life was to find the perfect sticky toffee pudding recipe. I have now found it in Carol's Sticky Toffee Pudding. This is the most amazing dessert (next to my carob cake) I've ever tasted.
