My Husband and I LOVED this recipe !!! It was so easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used lemon cake mix instead of white for an even lemonier flavor. It is delicious ! Thank you for such a great recipe !!

Wow this is a 10 star cake. It turned out great! Ate it just as it cooled. Anxious to try once it is cold. Creamy, gooey and just a nice light flavor of lemon. I will definately make this again probably many times. Thank you for such a wonderful dessert.

I followed the directions, except when it came to the pudding. As another reviewer suggested, I put the pudding in a plastic bag and piped it on top of the batter in the pan. I also did not use the entire amount. The cake came out perfectly. It was moist and delicious.

This recipe almost got a 2 star...it looked terrible and sank in the middle for I don't know why...however the taste was great! I used a small box of instant lemon pudding with the cool whip as suggested by another reviewer and that was a good choice. I tried to swirl the pudding/filling around as suggested but it seemed to cave in the cake only in the middle?! Still would make it again though...maybe use a different brand of pudding?...thanks for posting...made it for Easter Sunday.

Although everyone liked the taste of the cake, my filling sank to the bottom. I mixed a small box of instant lemon pudding with 12 oz cool whip for the icing.

This was a good recipe for something different. The only change I made was to frost with chocolate frosting to be reminiscant of chocolate lemon pie which DH loves. The only thing, tho, is that my lemon didn't sit in the middle, it sort of went to the bottom. I used my small cookie dropper to drop the lemon in, maybe it was just too big a drop. Will try it again!

Delicious! I've made this twice...once as recipe directed, and again as cupcakes. Worked out perfect, to everyones delight.Ahh!Another success! made additional cupcakes, using a lemon cake mix, and #80246 - Clear Lemon Jelly filling...to replace the canned lemon pudding and pie filling. Made a powered sugar icing with a "dab" of lemon extract, and the suggested cool whip, and it was delightful! Highly reccomend, and Thanks again, Marie!

I have made this twice and have been meaning to rate it. For a cake that is this simple… there is no denying how delicious it is. I used yellow cake mix (all I had on hand) and everyone quite enjoyed it, even my dad- and he hates everything! Thanks!

I have made this cake numerous times already and it is ALWAYS a crowd pleaser. I've had nothing but positive feedback from friends and co-workers. I even had someone tell me that this was one of the best cakes he's ever had but I think my favorite compliment was when someone told me that this is the best thing that they have ever put in their mouth! LOL :) It truly doesn't get any better than that.

I made this using lemon curd. The lemon pillows did not happen. The lemon curd was absorbed into the cake, some of it settling to the bottom. Absolutely delicious failure. Rich and lemony with whipped cream instead of icing.

Definitely 5 stars! I've made two of these so far. One my family ate without even any icing. The second I took to work tonight for a co-worker's birthday. They all asked when was I bringing another one! I think I'm going to try chocolate cake with coconut cream filling next time.
***The chocolate & coconut cream variation is fantastic too!***

How wonderful! I had a can of key lime pie filling so I used that rather than lemon & added grated lime zest to the icing. Moist, tart cake & I love the icing idea. Thanks for posting this keeper.

I made this cake today and it was very good. I did change the frosting though due to too much sugar in the canned frosting. I took the cool whip and mixed in one box of lemon sugar free pudding mix and then frosted the cake. It turned out really good, I'm sure your frosting would have tasted wonderful but I can't have that much sugar and I felt the cake was enough for me. Thank- you I will make this again.

Easy, simple and tastes wonderful! I made this and took to the office. They were digging into it at 8:05am and all were asking for the recipe by 8:10 (even the guys). The frosting is absolutely wonderful. This goes directly into my favorites cook book. Thanks Marie for such an easy and great tasting cake.

My family enjoyed this cake! I couldn't find lemon frosting in a can (perhaps not available in Ontario Canada?), so I used buttercream with a few drops of lemon extract which was still nice. With regard to the review from vfranc2, I didn't place 'blobs' of lemon pie filling on the top of the batter, I swirled it in the cake mix (like you are making a marble cake mix when you swirl the chocolate batter with the vanilla) so there wasn't blobs throughout, but streaks of lemon in the cake. I also added a package of dry vanilla pudding mix to the batter to make it even more moist, which worked well.

Yum! This was so easy to make and sooo good! I used Clear Lemon Jelly Filling as the filling instead of buying it, but that was the only change I made. Thanks for posting!

The cake and frosting were great. We didn't like the globs of lemon pie filling in the cake. The cake did not bake over the top of the filling either. Will not be making this again.
