Lemon Sheet Cake: This one was found in an old magazine. Mom (Norma Rezendes) had this in her collection. It looks scrumptious! This cake adds a splash of citrus flavor with lemon pie filling. A rich cream cheese frosting gives it sweetness. It’s easy to make, starting with a convenient cake mix. 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) lemon cake mix 4 eggs 1 can (15-3/4 ounces) lemon pie filling 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened ½ cup butter or margarine, softened 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract In a large mixing bowl, beat the cake mix and eggs until well blended. Fold in pie filling. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at (350 degrees F) for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Spread over cake. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 30-35 servings.
