Sandy's Notes:

This was the very first cake I ever made with my Grandma Effie. I must have been about 10 years old then. We both knew how much my daddy loved Lemon Pie and I wanted to make him something different using lemon....and this is the cake I made. It was yummy! But what made it all worth it....was to see my daddy smile and lick his lips. Well since then Grandma Effie died in 1982 and daddy died in 2001....but every time I make it I SMILE and LICK my lips....memories are a wonderful thing!

Sandy, this cake recipe sounds scrumptious! I am going to make it for our next church fellowship! I made a Pina Colada Cake similar to this. It was a yellow cake mix. After it was done and cooled, you stuck holes in it and poured a can of Eagle Brand milk in the holes and all over the cake. You frosted it with Cool Whip and put coconut on top of the Cool Whip. Then refrigerate it, and it is one of the best cakes I've ever tasted. But you have probably had it. The recipe has been around a LONG time!!

Judy, no I have never tried the Pina Colada Cake....sounds so good! Do you have that recipe listed under the cakes on here? I think I will take that to my next function at church when we need to bring a dessert. I can't wait to try it.... Let me know when you make mine and how you like it....I love it!

My oldest granddaughter loves this because she can help do it herself! She really likes 'colorful' food! Thanks!

Hi Sandy! Wanted to tell you that I made this cake for my husband's B-Day on July 16th. He is not crazy about cake, but I knew this one different, refrigerated and COLD! He LOVED it, so I am going to make it more often. I'll tell you that I made one little substitution, and it was SCRUMPTIOUS! Where it called for 1/2 cup COLD water to add to the 3/4 cup boiling water, I substituted 1/2 cup COLD lemon juice. It made it so lemony-tasting, but not too much! Try it; you may like it that way. Thanks again!!
