Lemon Sheet Cake Recipe

Lemon pie filling lends a splash of citrus flavor to convenient cake mix, and a rich cream cheese frosting gives it sweetness. My family likes this cake cold, so I cut it into squares and freeze before serving. -Alyce Dubisar, North Bend, Oregon

I couldn't find a 15-3/4 ounce can of lemon pie filling. I used a 22 oz can and cup the recipe back to 3 eggs. I also added a tbsp of lemon juice as suggested by others. The recipe turned out very good but more like a lemon bar than a cake. I also sprinkled the pieces with powdered sugar.

My husband can't stop eating it! I added a little lemon zest to the cake. Good and refreshing.

This is a very good, moist, easy cake. I make it often. I always add fresh lemon juice and zest to the frosting and cake.

This recipe was definitely quick. Nice to cut corners in some areas but still have time to whip together a homemade frosting. I made this for a wake table and recieved many smiles and compliments.

This was veyr moist, and I did freeze it. The second time I made it, I used two smaller size baking sheets. One I added alittle lemon juice to the batter. Which gave it a much more lemon flavor. Everyone seems to like either way I made it. The frosting I also gave it a little added lemon flavor on the second time I made this cake. Wonderful to the taste buds. Will make it again, and again..

I added 1 T. lemon juice to the cake for a little extra kick. It was really moist and delicious. I thought the frosting was a bit overpowering on this light, refreshing cake. Next time, I will omit the frosting and serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream.

I made this cake for my husband's office and everyone raved about it! My husband said it was one of the best tasting cake he has ever had. Very moist and the lemon flavor is light enough to taste, not overbearing. It's delicious!
