1 box Betty Crocker™ Gluten Free yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
3 eggs
2 cups gluten-free powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon gluten-free coconut extract, if desired
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup lemon curd
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 8- or 9-inch round pan with cooking spray (without flour).

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the lemon filling was too sour.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts. But I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this cake was. The lemon flavor was subtle and perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the coconut.
