Ladyfinger Lemon Cake is so easy! You need a couple boxes of Lemon Pie Filling and Dessert Mix, the ingredients required and a big bag of lady fingers. That is it!
When I was young I lived next door to a boy named David. We were the same age, had similar interests and spent a lot of time together growing up. His mother used to make this cake all of the time.
Years later, this cake came up in a conversation with my mother and I could not believe she still had the recipe, hand written by David’s mother herself! Luckily, my mother had asked her for the recipe way back when. When I read it I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make!
You have so many serving options with this Ladyfinger Lemon Cake! My favorites are raspberries and whipped cream, as you can see! I am excited to hear what you choose to serve with your cake, if anything at all! Either way, you will not be disappointed!
