Ingredients:

• Filling:
• 2 packages of cook-before-eating lemon pudding and pie filling mix (Jell-O), Cake:
• 1 package yellow cake mix
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• Frosting:
• 1 container of Cool Whip
• 1 container of vanilla frosting

Method

Prepare filling according to package directions for pie filling; cover with plastic wrap and cool thoroughtly. Meanwhile, prepare cake: Beat together cake ingredients; pour into two 9" greased cake pans. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until cake tests done. When cake is cooled, put about 2/3 of the cooled filling mixture onto the first layer. Put on second layer and place the remaining 1/3 of the filling on top. For frosting, mix together the container of Cool Whip and vanilla frosting. Frost sides, and decorate as desired with mint, lemon slices, etc.

Notes: This is a great cake, light but refreshing. I made this at Easter and it was a hit. I made up the idea of using the lemon Jell-O in the center and then mixing the frosting and Cool Whip together for a lighter feel.

Number of servings: 12
