This is one of my favorite cake recipes to make in the spring and summer. Easy to make & there's rarely a leftover piece when I bring it to a party. I will admit, I usually don't use all of the lemon filling since it can be a little too much for some. Excellent cake....even my "picky" niece & nephew love this one. Thanks Mary!

I've made variations of this cake before so I knew it was going to be *great*! I was a little confused by the can size listed for the lemon pie filling; all I've ever seen is 21 ounces (1.3 pounds) and that's what I used. After dolloping in it, I swirled it a little so my "pockets" weren't quite so big. Opted not to frost this time - just chilled it and ate it straight up. Thanks for posting!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing.
I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us.
I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
