This filling is delicious! I bake custom wedding cakes and my brides adore this filling in French vanilla or lemon cakes. I do call it "Citrus Filling" instead of lemon, though. I think it has a little too much orange flavor to call it lemon. Forget the cake...I could just eat the filling with a spoon!!!

This is a great filling. I used it with the Creamy White Layers cake and the Special Buttercream Frosting recipes from this website. It is not overly tart and it was easy to use and didn't ooze out when I put the top layer on and frosted the remainder of the cake. I used lemon zest instead of orange zest because I didn't have an orange handy and it still tasted great.

Great recipe. I was looking for a spring time recipe for my easter party and found this. I used it with a white cake mix and lemon icing that Carol submitted as "lemon icing" and baked it in a 9x13 pan and sliced it in half. The flavors worked together perfectly. It was a hit with the whole family.

Very nice filling-- I thought it was much better served very cold (as in, leftovers after the cake had been stored in the fridge). I think if I make it again, I'll omit the whipped cream-- I liked the thicker, gel consistancy of the plain filling.

This filling is so creamy and tangy you want to eat it without the cake!

It had been a long time since I didn't make a cake and I have to say this was a really simple one, just the juice of half lemon. Well, with this filling the cake is great! My sister loves it!! Really easy and tasty! Thanks!

I brought a cake with this filling inside to a restaurant where we were having a birthday party and the chef and owner tasted it and I had to give him the recipe. Everyone loved it. I make it all the time now for special cakes.
