Wish I could give this 10 stars!!! What a delightfully delicious cake...and low fat as an extra bonus. I made this exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. I also added the mandarin oranges on top which made for a beautiful presentation. This is a winner. Thanks for sharing, TheGrumpyChef.

This was a pretty tasty cake. I had to make a few alterations based on what I had or didn't rather. I used lemon pudding instead of vanilla so didn't use any of the spices. I also accidently added the cool whip to the pudding mixture instead of on top ... what came out of all was a good cake. I plan on making sure I have all the ingredients next time and will post an updated review.
