After my sister and I returned from eating at the Olive Garden, our husband’s asked us if we brought them anything back. I said we would have had some lemon cake for them but my sister ate it all. Can you believe she kicked me after I said that? Man, even in adulthood little sisters are a pain… literally!
Check out what a satisfied reviewer over at Group Recipes had to say about this lemon cream cake:
“I had this Olive Garden dessert today. One of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever tasted! The filling is just right…not too lemony…not too sweet. :)”
I have to agree, the custard filling is not overpowered by a strong lemon flavor. It is just right!

Thank you to Group Recipes for this great recipe.
Do you mean Borden heavy whipping cream? And what is McCormick lemon zest? I thought lemon zest could only be gotten by grating lemon rind with a zester, a special tool. Does McCormick sell dried lemon zest in the spice aisle?
Any way that I could get these recipes sent to .
