1 box Betty Crocker™ Gluten Free yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
3 eggs
2 cups gluten-free powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon gluten-free coconut extract, if desired
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup lemon curd
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 8- or 9-inch round pan with cooking spray (without flour).

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and the lemon filling was too tart.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've never been a fan of lemon cake, but this recipe changed my mind. The coconut flavor really balances out the tartness of the lemon.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add an extra 1/2 cup of milk next time.

The cake was delicious, but I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.
