Lemon Layer Cake With Pineapple Filling, A spectacular cake More work than the ordinary but a lot can be done the day before Make it for a special occasion and be prepared for raves , Thanks for posting this recipe My mom use to make it for us when I was in high school, she had gotten it from a well abused Bon Apetit magazine which I misplaced When I found this site with this recipe you could only imagine how happy I was So I made it for her in a heart shape baking pan, as a thank you hence the little card beside the cake in the photo I shared We don’t have lemons here in Belize but we do have limes so used that instead and garnished it with a slice of fresh pineapple and lime zest flower Thanks again for sharing this I am forever in debt
