Categories     Lemon Cake

Time 1h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
1 cup milk
1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced

Steps:

  • Mix cake and pudding mix together then follow cake mix directions (I substitute Mayonnaise for oil in cake recipe) and bake as directed for 2 - 9 inch round pans. Allow to cool.
  • To Make Filling: Mix together instant pudding mix with milk until thickened. Fold in 8 ounces of the whipped topping. Spread half of lemon pudding mixture on one cake layer and top with sliced strawberries.
  • Add second cake layer and spread with remaining lemon filling. Arrange sliced strawberries over top of lemon filling. Frost sides of cake with remaining 8 ounces whipped topping.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure that they blend together smoothly.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become dry and stiff, and the cake will be tough.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature (350 degrees F) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Mock lemon chiffon cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture and bright lemon flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a beginner baker or a seasoned pro, this recipe is sure to please.
