Great cake!! I used a lemon cake and added a few tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in place of some of the water in the cake. My coworkers gobbled this up and my boss wanted the recipe after I took this to a work luncheon. Will definitely make again, very refreshing and light tasting!

I made this for my daughter's birthday and everyone loved it! Used 9 x 13 pan, lemon cake mix, and lemon pudding. As someone else said, be sure to beat batter for the full time and cake will rise nicely.

The cake was very nice. I used the lemon cake mix like everyone suggested and added the juice of 1 lemon plus the zest of 1/2 lemon to the water. The only problem I had with it was that it didn't grow very tall. I used the required 10x15 pan and the cake was only an inch thick. There simply wasn't enough batter. I was making it as a birthday cake for my FIL and was forced to make another batch and it ended up being an enormous layer cake...which worked out good considering I was feeding a party of 18 people. I used a whipped citrus frosting (lemon and orange) instead of the cool whip, which gave it a really nice touch. Overall it was a real hit with the crowd.

I had trouble making the cake because i tried to use 2-9" pans instead of the 10x15 dish... they were so moist that they fell apart when i tried to take them out of the pans! But once i reconstructed them, iced and refrigerated the cake, WOW! It was fabulous. I used lemon cake mix instead of yellow, and also lemon pudding in the frosting instead of vanilla. It was a hit!

I'm an avid baker, and this is a fabulous recipe. Everyone loved it when I served it at my husband's birthday party. I increased the amount of lemon extract, grated lemon rind into the whipped cream, and shaved some white chocolate onto the top. Best cake I've ever made!!!!!!

Delicious!! Used lemon cake mix (and the lemon pudding!)...perfect - you HAVE to use lemon cake mix. Also, we like to eat cake cold, it really is so good right out of the fridge, you've got to try that. Made an American flag on top w/ strawberry slices and blueberries for the 4th of July yesterday...so cute! :) My sister said that this is now her favorite cake of ALL TIME!!

Made this cake for my dad's birthday. He ALWAYS asks for a yellow or vanilla cake, so was surprised this year when he branched out with lemon. I tried this recipe because it sounded mild, and he LOVED IT!!!! It's his new favorite cake. He took some to work and it was quickly devoured. Even my mom, who doesn't like lemon, thought this cake was good. One variation -- I used lemon cake mix and french vanilla pudding instead of yellow mix and lemon pudding. I'll be making this cake every year from now on! Thanks for sharing!!

This cake was great- easy and low fat! I used egg white substitute and reduced calorie yellow cake mix and it tasted great!
