  1. The cake stayed moist, which is what I was going for. The flavor was great, very lemony. I did not frost because I don't care for frosting.
     
  2. Good cake. Lots of lemon flavor.
     
  3. A little too lemony for my tastes. I thought it was a little sour and I made it exactly as directed. Others in my family who love lemon desserts were pleased, though. It was easy enough to make and I loved that it was chilled.
     
  4. Great easy cake to make. I usually top it with Paige's Buttercream Frosting Recipe #43332. Thanks for sharing.
     
  5. Delicious! Here's how I modified it: Baked in two 8" layer pans. Cooled for 15 minutes per the instructions, then inverted one onto cake plate and took the other layer and flipped it over right in its own pan. Poked using a chopstick, poured the lemonade/sugar mixture over both layers. Refrigerated for 2 hours. Removed both pan and plate from the fridge, spread a thick layer of Cool Whip Lite over the top of the layer on the plate. Took the layer that was in the pan and flipped it over on top of the other layer, sandwiching the Cool Whip. Frosted with lemon icing on sides and top, sprinkled with a dusting of yellow decorating sugar. Next time, I think I'll fill with Cool Whip Lite, frost the sides with lemon icing and the top with Cool Whip Lite, then sprinkle the sugar. Here are a few photos of the process: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nora/sets/72157605625926864/

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am married and mother of 3 wonderful children. I have a 21 year old daughter and 19 year old twins, a boy and a girl. The picture above is of my granddaughter Destiny born April 5, 2007. She was a preemie and weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. at birth. She spent 73 days in NICU in the hospital She has came a long way and was 11 months and a little over 19 pounds when the picture was taken. She shows no problems at all now and is truly a miracle and I thank God for her. She is already Nana's little girl. I have a wonderful husband who is very honest with me about any dish I prepare. He is my best critic as I am sure most husbands tend to be. I love trying new recipes and love to cook. I love Taste of Home cookbooks. I like to do counted cross-stitch and recently I have rediscovered a lost love of mine; reading, especially mysteries. I can get lost in a good book for hours. Weather permitting my hubby and I like to ride on his Harley. Nothing like it! If I had a month off with no responsibilities I would travel. Love the beach!!! My dream is to retire and for my hubby and I to travel to all the places I would like to see. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <a href="http://www.freekibble.com" TARGET="_blank"> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://www.freekibble.com/images/share/freekibble-blue-194x67.gif" alt="FreeKibble.com"></a> Participation & Awards: These are some of the fun games and clubs here at Zaar. -
