  4. Allow cake to cool completely.
  5. Remove cake from the pan and place on a large serving platter.
  6. Pour lemon curd over top, and gently spread it into the holes.

  9. Garnish with fresh lemon slices.

Notes

  • Lemon cake mix: Feel free to use your favorite brand of lemon cake mix. Or you can make a homemade lemon sheet cake and then continue with the recipe as-written.
  • Lemon curd: Lemon curd is surprisingly easy to make. You can also use store bought lemon curd if you prefer.
  • Whipped topping: You can use Cool Whip, TruWhip, or another brand of frozen whipped topping. You could also spread the cake with homemade whipped cream if you're serving and consuming the cake right away.
