SPECTACULAR! I cannot rave enough about the lemon filling...I love it and make it all the time. If you don't feel like making the cake from scratch, just used boxed lemon...but make the filling and frosting and you'll be rewarded!

I made this cake for a birthday at our office & is was loved!! It was very time consuming to make but yummy!! The very tart lemon filling complimented the sweet frosting (I added 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the frosting & am glad i did!). The cake is a bit dry but I feel it was a great match for the gooey/sweetness of the rest of the cake & perhaps needs to be such to keep from soaking up the filling. I thought the frosting looked too thin in the photo so I made a batch & a half -- while frosting I thought "i'm glad a made extra" but while eating I thought "didn't really need that extra frosting". I'll definitely make this again for my lemon mereinge pie loving sister.

Fabulous sweet & tart lemon flavors. I found the filling difficult to work after it was refrigerated. It was like spreading dense glue. Don't know what I did wrong. Maybe cut the corn starch some. Another viewer recommended store-bought Mrs. Robinson's lemon curd. Sounds like a good idea. The cake isn't very tall but pretty nonetheless.

The filling is tart and the frosting is very sweet, but the taste sort of balances out when you eat them together. I think I'll experiment a bit with the frosting next time. It's definitely one I'll add to my recipe box, though!

This was one great cake Michele! I'll admit, due to lack of time, I used a boxed cake mix and proceeded from there. Others complained about the filling and icing being either too sweet or to tart. We found the flavors to be absolutely perfect. Will definitely be making this one again. Thanks!

I wish I would've read the whole recipie before cooking, I didn't give myself enough time to make it, but let me say, it was the best cake I've ever tasted! Absolutely divine! Everyone loved it and I now have it in my "special occasions" folder, if you have the time, I would suggest this one hundred times over!!!!

Wow! This cake is not as good as it looks! I know I followed the recipe correctly. So, It wasn't me! The filling is way too tart! and the frosting is too sweet. Not good at all!

I doubled the recipe and made this cake for a bridal shower...It was amazing! The guests kept saying that it was the best cake they ever had. The lemon filling and lemon butter frosting were, I thought, cake-store quality. I recommend that you use Meyer lemons, baker's sugar, and baker's flour for this recipe.

This was a wonderful cake! The cake is moist and dense, and the flavors are a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Thank you for sharing such a treasure.

This is a fantastic recipe! Honestly, the cake does not rise too high, but the crumb is moist and dense, sort of like a wedding cake consistency. Yum! I made a few changes. I substituted 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice for 1/2 cup of the milk in the cake recipe. I also used Crisco and butter flavoring instead of butter, and Egg Beaters instead of eggs. I also added 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. For the frosting, I substituted Crisco and butter flavoring for the butter, and fresh lemon juice for the milk. I also added 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. I added more milk (1 tablespoon at a time)until the frosting reached the right consistency. I used Polaner's sugar-free fruit preserves instead of the lemon filling. Blackberry works well.

I only gave this recipe 4 stars because I didn't make the cake. Weird I know but there was no lemon in the cake and my friend, who I was making the cake for, wanted lemon cake & lemon frosting! I did make the filling and frosting and both were DELICIOUS!! The filling is a bit tart but goes perfectly with the frosting. I would make again. Everyone who tired it loved it!

This was very pritty cake and very good. I my have done something wrong because the cakes were not high enough for me to make more then one layer but that was not that bad I just used the curd as one layer it turned out fine.

SWEET, SOUR, and DELICIOUS! This recipe definitely plays with your taste buds, but if you love lemon as much as I do, you won't find a better cake. There's no lemon in the actual cake part, but plenty of flavor in the frosting and filling.

This was the worst cake I ever made- the cake was flavorless and the curd was WAY too tart (and it's hard for me to find lemon curd too tart). The frosting was OK, but not great. I actually threw away the last half- I've never thrown cake away before!

This is a pretty cake. I did find the lemon curd and lemon frosting way too tart, which surprised me because I do like lemon. The cake itself was not bad.
