The red raspberry preserves filling in this lemony yellow cake makes each slice pretty as a picture!

This cake is soooo easy and soooo delicious!! For the icing, I used whipped cream, mixed in some raspberry preserves to give it a yummy flavor and pretty pinkish tint. Also added lemon extract. Definitely will make this again and see what other variations on the icing I can come up with- the cake itself is a delicious starter!!

i meant to type i used 1/4 cup margarine not a 1/2 cup...so 1 cup of butter and 1/4 cup margarine. Wish this site would let you edit your review when you make a mistake!

OMG!!! This is what I've heard from people after they've taken their first bite! Other descriptions: "sinful" "to die for" "I have to have the recipe", etc. This cake is so easy, delicious, and pretty! I bought the cheap 3-pack of aluminum pans (the throw away type) since I didn't have 3 regular cake pans and they worked out great! I only had one cup of butter and used margarine for the other 1/2 cup. Seemed to work out for me! The lemon with the raspberry is a great combo. This is "my" new signature dish! Love it! Already looking forward to making it again! :)

I made this cake several times, changing things, until I finally arrived at this. Keep in mind I just use recipes for a general guideline so I am not going to have specific measurements. For the cake, I omitted the oil, instead I put in 2 prepackaged containers of greek yogurt (6 oz each I think?) I also added aprox 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Might have to change the amount of water added too. For the filling, I used 1 jar seedless raspberry jam, 1 tub light cool whip and 1/2 package of Neufchatel cream cheese. Icing for the top i used 1 tub light cool whip, 1 package of Neufchatel cream cheese and lemon extract to flavor, only added a few drops so it was a very mild flavor. End result was a very moist lemon cake. The raspberry filling and icing was just sweet enough to balance the bitter lemon.

This tastes so delicious and balanced. A perfect mixture of tart and sweet. Although I made this for a friend's birthday in January, it mostly reminded me of summer.

cake is delicious but watch out when making the frosting, it is tricky...lemon and butter don't want to become one!

I have made this as a cake and as cupcakes! For the cupcakes, I warmed the raspberry jam in the microwave and put it in a squeeze bottle. I then poked a hole in the center of the cupcake with the tip and squeezed the jam in. If any comes out of the hole, scrape it off with a knife. I then used the frosting in the can someone else recommended 1/2 lemon and 1/2 cream cheese. They were terrific and so moist. I will definitely keep this recipe around for a long time!

WOW!! What a great cake for summertime. Very light and refreshing..and easy to make. The preserves did bleed through the icing like a previous writer said..but no big deal...I garnished with lemon peel and raspberries and a spring of mint...it was a birthday cake..and it was VERY popular!! I will definitely be making this a again..I have already shared the recepie.
