Dumb question - Is the lemon pie filling referred to in your recipe the canned type of pie filling?

If you like chocolate ... Texas Sheet Cake. Several recipes for it can be found online.

(It really is yummy 😀!)

IG ....  I am pretty sure it was the box lemon pudding/pie filling.  Make it, cool and use as filling.

For 18 years, my mother made me a homemade Cherry Cake for my birthday. What made it special was that it was a 2-layer cake made in heart-shaped pans. She made that cake with love every year and topped it with a 7-minute frosting. Wonderful memories of my birthday cake shaped in a heart!

@jannabelle1  That is a very special memory.

@ECBG.....I love pound cake.....I don't make it often.  My mom had a good recipe that I make on occasion.  I enjoy it with a good cup of coffee.  DH and I are real sweet eaters...out guilty pleasure...he is a chocoholic.

I think what makes the red cake so good is the frosting.

@Mom2DogsTotally agree about cream cheese frosting.  Is it not one of (if not) THE best ever?  

I do eat pound cake now, if it's moist.  I LOVE vanilla.

I have a recipie for a killer chocolate poundcake.

Please share your chocolate pound cake. Sounds yummy.

I remember my mom making pound cake for my youngest brother all the time. He loves it.

That was my FIL's favorite cake. It's pretty good. Something good but different when you get tired of chocolate.

I'm confused. LOL!!! 

You say to Mix lemon pie filling and put between layers but I don't see any lemon in the recipe?

What kind of lemon pie filling are you using?

HELP!!! I feel like a moron. LOL!!!
