Extremely refreshing and tasty! The whole family loved it, even the non lemon fans! Added a tsp of lemon extract to the cake mix and used half a tub of cool whip on top. Yum!

I used about 3/4 of the batter from a box of French Vanilla cake mix (all I had on hand), and frosted with 1 pkg of lemon pudding mixed with about 2 cups of cool whip & 1/2 cup of sour cream. I turned the cake out onto my cake plate before poking & adding the pudding, then let it sit in the fridge while I beat the "frosting". Chilled the whole thing for two hours before adding candles! Beautiful & delicious!!! Thank you!

Most of the family really liked this cake, but I didn't care for the lemon pudding. It tasted artificial to me, and I much prefer a homemade lemon curd. Overall, this was a quick and easy dessert and nothing went to waste.

I've made this cake several times and you can use any flavor pudding or cake. After layering the remaining pudding, I always top with cool whip. Makes it more yummy.

As written this recipe is a 5 star recipe. It is super easy and soo good.I was confused with the directions for a minute, the directions should say substitute cake box ingredients with these ingredients but mix it together following the box directions. Makes you pause for a second, but no big deal. Make sure you poke your holes big enough (I used a straw and felt the holes were too small) and very soon after the cake is out of the oven, don't wait. I added half the pudding pushing most of it down in the holes and left a light layer on top, then I mixed the rest of the pudding up with some whipped cream and topped it with that. (My only alteration and done the seond time, hte first time I made the cake I followed directions to the T, both are good, whipped cream adds more lightness to the cake). The result was a fantastic light, airy, wonderful lemon cake. I will try this with a white cake and chocolate pudding, chocolate cake with chocolate pudding, strawberry cake with vanilla pudding, the possiblities are endless and all sound good.

We loved this cake and so did our neighbors. It was so moist and delicious. I followed the directions to the "T" and it turned out great. I wouldn't change a thing. It's perfect for a bbq on a hot summer day!

I wish I could rate this recipe better but there were a few flaws in it. First off, the recipe states the ingredients you need to make the cake, but in the instructions it says to prepare and bake the cake as directed on the box. Well the two aren't the same so that can make it confusing. Secondly, 2 pkg. pudding is WAY to much. I had to scrap some off the top. Thirdly, the recipe says to add the 1/2 the pudding to the cake immediately after taking it out of the oven. Doing so makes the cake slightly mushy. To avoid this slightly cool the cake first. And lastly, the cake needs to be refrigerated so you end up with cold cake. This may not be a problem for you, but I don't like my cake ice-cold. I won't be making this again.
