"My mother baked this light moist treat when I was a child," shares Missy Andrews of Rice, Washington. "I loved it as much then as my children do now." Boxed cake and pudding mixes make this delightful dessert simple, and at a mere 22 cents a piece, it's frugal as well.

I would love to make this recipe it sounds so good but, is there something that I can substitute for the lemon-lime soda?

For the last 3 years, one of my co-workers has asked that I make this for him for his "birthday dessert". Although, not low fat, this is a very good recipe for those special occasions!

My daughter made this for Thanksgiving this past year, it was so delightful that she made It again. The first one she made she used essential oils in the icing, OMG, it was awesome.

This cake is light and delish and is my sons favorite. The only variation I made was to prick top with toothpick every 2" before icing which was my mothers idea.
