This is outstanding!! I amde it as a sheet cake and used about 3/4 cup mixed berry jam on the top of it. I made a lemon cream cheese frosting for the top. Not as pretty as the picture but very good. I will keep this one! -
So good and delectable!! I made this for a potluck and people were talking about it for weeks!! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! -
I am rating the cake portion only, as I opted to make a Lemon Cream Cheese frosting instead of using canned. I made this cake for my Mom for Mother's Day. We all really enjoyed it! I would definitely make this cake, again. Thanks for posting, Wildflour! UPDATE: This is my go-to lemon cake recipe. I just used it for cupcakes the other day, and everyone raved! Moist & delightfully citrusy! -
Looks beautiful and sounds delicious...can't wait to give this a try...
