Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 large box lemon pudding mix or two small if you can't find one large
  • 1 large fresh lemon (meyers have a sweeter taste)
  • 1 can of Reddi-Wip Whipped Cream the brand doesn't matter, pick what you prefer

Instructions

  • Make the cake according to the instructions on the box, and cook in two square pans.
  • While the cake is cooking, cut the lemon into thin slices and set these slices on a paper towel and place a second paper towel over the top to let them dry out a little.
  • Once the cakes have cooled, transfer one of the cakes to a plate.
  • Prepare the pudding mix according to the instructions on the box, but only allow it to set for about five minutes.
  • Poke holes into the cake on the plate, leaving approximately 1" between each hole.
  • Note: do not poke through to the bottom, make sure your holes go no deeper than halfway into the cake.
  • Next, pour 1/2 of the lemon pudding onto the cake on the plate, starting in the middle and working your way out.
  • After this is done, place the second cake on top.
  • Using your can of whipped cream, make a border around the top of the cake.
  • Pour the remaining pudding onto the top, again starting in the middle, and work your way out to the border.
  • Refrigerate for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Remove from refrigerator and cover the rest of the cake (including the sides and putting it over the pudding) with whipped topping.
  • Using a butter knife, trace the knife through the pudding and whipped topping to create a marbled design on the top of the cake.
  • Lastly, place your lemon slices along the sides of the cake as decorations.
  • You can use any additional slices to decorate the top of the cake.
  • Keep entire cake refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • Enjoy!
