Linda's Lemon Cake w/Mango Cream Cheese Frosting

This one will come in under the "almost homemade" category. It is made using a cake mix and a tub of frosting. It is easy and it is full of flavor.


Lemon Cake

Ingredients:

1 pkg of Duncan Hines's Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
Zest of one lemon
Juice of on lemon
1 tsp. good vanilla

Perpetration:

You are going to make this cake per the directions on the box with the exception of the following:
Where it calls for the water, you want to make the juice of the lemon a portion of that water. Additionally you are going to add the zest of the lemon and the vanilla. Bake it off just as the box calls for.

Cool completely. I use a 9x13 pan and leave the cake in the pan but you can remove it if that is what you wish.

Frosting:

3 small yellow mangos, peeled and flesh removed from the seed. Puree in a blender and pour into a medium size mixing bowl.
Add;
1 container of Cream Cheese Frosting at room temperature
1 tsp. good vanilla

Mix the mango puree, frosting and vanilla together with a spoon until well blended. Frost your cake.

Store in the refrigerator until time to serve and any left over store in the fridg as well.

The cake has the best real lemon flavor you can imagine and the mango and cream cheese are a wonderful compliment.

Alternative;
If you can't get the mangoes the frosting is great with the zest of a lemon instead and the vanilla.
