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 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!

This is a very good cake - I like the fact that it has a slight tartness to it. One thing I did was to cut the amount of butter down to only four tablespoons (1/2 of a stick). The frosting was yummy, and spread very easily over the cake.

I selected this recipe for a funeral luncheon menu. I didn't bake it but I tasted it and it was so good. Not too sweet. Everyone raved. Thanks Taste of Home.

I made lemon cupcakes and needed a frosting recipe. I'd never thought about cream cheese frosting on lemon. I made only the frosting portion of this recipe. It was fabulous on my lemon cup cakes! (There was leftover frosting, so the next day my kids smeared it on crisp gingersnap cookies and made little sandwich cookies. We liked that too!)
