A delicious, moist, lemon sheet cake. It is essential to use an 11x17-inch baking sheet or the cake will be too thin or too thick. Store cake in the refrigerator.

The cake came out dense and moist. I used lemon curd instead of pie filling- my store didn't have it. Instead of vanilla I subbed lemon extract- I have a boy that LOVES lemon. Really good cake! Read More

Tasty and easy! Great lemon flavors and turns a box mix into a fancy desert. I used "cup" cupcake molds. Nice recipe in a pinch! I will make this again. Read More

This was delicious and great for a crowd since it is a sheet cake. I could not find the 18.25 ounce cake mix so I used a 15.25 and just added a couple of tablespoons of flour. I also added a little lemon juice along with everything else for the frosting. I will definitely be making this again. Read More
