Description

This is the BEST Lemon Cake you will ever have. I won a blue ribbon in our local fair last year with this cake and have been asked to make it for a charity event in Memphis in a month. It is that good!
This is a wonderful summertime dessert or a great light dessert after a big dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
  • 1 can (14 Oz. Can) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 12 ounces, weight Cool Whip
  • 6 ounces, fluid Lemonade (frozen Concentrate)
  • 1 whole Lemon (optional, Just For Garnish)

Preparation

Bake the lemon supreme cake as directed on the box for a round 2-layer cake. When cool, cut both layers in half (I chill my cakes so they cut easier).

Icing:
Mix together sweetened condensed milk, lemonade and Cool Whip. Ice between each layer of the cake (you won’t use all the icing) and re-chill the cake for about 30 minutes. With the remaining icing, coat the cake and place it back in the refrigerator. Cake has to remain chilled. I garnish it with slices of lemon.

This cake is best made the day before so the icing has a chance to soak into the cake.

This cake is outstanding! I’m stealing the recipe for our church dessert auction. Our little family ate almost the entire thing is one setting. the “frosting” is what really makes the it special.

I made this for our belated Valentines’ Dinner at home. It was a super big hit with not only my hubby but also with my kids! This is a fantastic cake with lots of lemon flavor! I will definitely be making this again.

I made this cake for my Mom’s birthday, and everyone absolutely loved it! I thought the ingredients for the icing were a little unusual, and I couldn’t invision how it was going to turn out, but it’s really awesome, and kind of “marshmallowy” in texture. This recipe is going in my permanent recipe box. I love when that happens. : ) Thank you so much for the fantastic recipe!

This may need to be chilled, but the flavor is much better if it comes to room temp. Delicious!

This is my husband’s new favorite cake! After eating the last piece, he looked at me and said, “The cake plate is empty.” My cue to make another one! :-)

I made this cake for my Mom for her birthday as she LOVES lemon. I will search for a lemon pudding cake next time as I found the cake to be a little dry in comparison to the “frosting”(and yes it was made the day before). It has a fantastic pucker power tartness to it. Make sure to keep the topping in the fridge while you cool and cut the cakes. Don’t over whip the topping mix as it will make it a little liquidy. I found it quite difficult to apply, and mine didn’t look nearly as beautiful as the photo here. I garnished with fresh whole raspberries just before presenting. It was a very welcome change from the super sugary frosting most cakes have. My mom kept the entire half cake left for herself she liked it so much!
