  1. Very good cake. I made it for a party and the guests loved it. Note: if you make it on a hot day, allow more than 1/2 hour of refrigeration time for the cake and frosting to get really cold. Then, after it is frosted, keep it refrigerated.
     
  2. I made this for Thanksgiving dinner, because DH does't care for pumpin and hates sweet potatoes. This cake was loved by everybody, most agreeing that, while it looks like cake, it tastes like lemon merangue pie. Very easy to make. The hardest part was keeping everybody out of it until the next day, when it had rested in the fridge for a day. Easy to make, this is a wonderful make-ahead dessert. Thanks for the great post, Bichonlady! We will enjoy this often!
