EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Yellow cake mix can be used in place of the vanilla cake mix.

For a special touch, reserve some of the frosting to pipe around the top and bottom edges of the cake.

Lemon slices also make a pretty garnish for this cake.

Very good. Some people said it tasted tart. I really like the flavor. Had to make another batch of frosting to put in between the layers.
