This is another recipe I entered into an Ocean Spray cooking contest that I made up myself. This is good with the the lemon and cranberry flavors. Please look at my version of the directions as it has some hints in it and explains the layering of the cake a bit clearer. (See Carol's Original Version of Recipe for corrections
