Lemon Dream Cake

I had the good fortune of receiving this next recipe from Country Cook reader, Cynthia Brandon.  I must have accidentally deleted the email Cynthia sent me, or else I would let y’all know where Cynthia is from. Cynthia, if you’re reading this, give me a holler! I had this recipe printed out and in my stack of recipes for months now and finally had a chance to make it recently.  I just love anything lemon (and many of you are aware of my love for making fun cakes with boxed cake mixes). So this was a match made in heaven. And lemon cakes are just made for summer.



Now, you would think looking at this recipe that this cake is on lemon overload.  Let me assure you – it really isn’t.  It isn’t crazy sweet or a big ole lemon bomb.  It is the perfect balance of sweet and a little tart from the pie filling. My husband, who is not a lemon cake fan, really enjoyed this one if that gives you an indication.
