Want a change from chocolate cake? Try this elegant lemon cake...it's packed with refreshing lemon flavor, from the cake to the homemade lemon curd and creamy frosting. It won a blue-ribbon at an Alaska State Fair and it's definitely a winner with me.—Shirley Warren, Thiensville, Wisconsin

I have made this 3 times, always to rave reviews. It is my chocoholic daughters new favorite! That really says something! Not an everyday cake, but worth the splurge on occasion for such an elegant and luscious dessert.

I just made this cake for a co-worker and everyone loved it! Can't wait to make it for my family.

to cooker69: How about helpful tips on how to make the recipe healthier rather than logging a complaint? I quote "Ode to the Dieter" : Cholesterol is poisonous. So never, never eat it. Sugar, too may murder you: there is no way to beat it. And fatty food may do you in: be certain to avoid it. Some food was rich in vitamins, but processing destroyed it. So let your life be ordered by each documented fact. And die of malnutrition - but with arteries intact." I say be more creative and have fun. Get a life and lighten up!

WOOHOO!!! Lemon lovers rejoice this is a wonderful special occasion cake! Thank you Shirley and the judges at the Alaskan State Fair, I'm pleased to add this to my "favourites"! I agree with you, toothfairylin, cooker69 disgusts me for feeling she has to comment on something she wouldn't make. I want to see comments about problems people encounter with recipes or changes and alternates - not obnoxious remarks from someone who hasn't or wouldn't try a recipe. I love the lemon/raspberry combination, but next time I'm going to try replacing the raspberry ingredients with blueberry. I'll make some wild blueberry jam when they're in season, later in the summer. There might be a few small seeds, but the blueberry fans in the family don't mind. Signed - a REAL cook just north of Muskoka, Ontario, Canada.

DEEEEELicious! Again, as I have commented about other recipes, I am disgusted that anyone would criticize someone's recipe when they have no intention of trying it. Just because YOU don't "live it up" once in awhile, doesn't mean you have to be mean-spirited about it. One slice of cake, even if it DOES have 700 calories, will not kill you, Trust me. I'm sure you "indulge" yourself occasionally on other fare that someone else might think unhealthy. Thank you, Shirley, for submitting this. Others apparently have enjoyed it.

<p>I LOVE lemon and this sounds very lemony. I am going to make this over the 4th of July weekend. And cooker69...it is not like you eat this everyday, three times a day. I would not liked to have lived without trying some of the wonderful tastes this world has to offer.</p>

I'm sure the original recipe is to die for! However, the amount of fat and calories was a bit much for me, so I modified the recipe. Instead of sugar, I used Stevia extract, and no oil. Instead, used lemon flavored light yogurt. I also used wheat flour and made 1/2 of the icing. Oh...and sugar free Polaner's raspberry preserves. Made a very moist, yummy cake!

For cooker69: Being REAL means nothing you eat once in awhile is going to hurt you. Please keep that in mind. If you don't believe me, ask a dietitian!!! And if you don't want to bake or eat it, then don't. Anybody who want to, go ahead and enjoy it!
