A light and fluffy lemon cake. It is supposed to taste similar to a cake Olive Garden used to have, but I never tried their cake and have nothing to compare it to.
Total Time: About 4 hours total (includes chilling time).
Yield: 12 slices
Source: Adapted from a recipe on the internet.
Ingredients:
- 1 white cake mix, prepared
- Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Steps:
- Prepare cake as directed on the box. The original recipe is made using a 10 inch springform pan. I made mine in a 13X9 inch pan. It's a lot easier and tastes just as good! Let cool.
- Blend cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon juice together, using electric mixer.
- In separate, medium sized bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold into cream cheese mixture and blend by hand. Don't mix too roughly or you'll deflate the cream!
- Top cake with cream frosting.
- Chill for 3 hours.
- Enjoy!

I LOVE lemon cake. Especially cream cheese frosting, not to mention cream cheese with lemon in it! Thanks for the recipe, will definitely be trying this!
