Make the cake!! This IS delicious. The only modification I made was using heavy cream instead of evaporated milk for the coconut frosting. Watch how it browns on top, it looked done at 35 minutes in but the middle still needed to set up. Mine baked about 43 minutes and it was incredibly moist. This will be my new go to recipe for holiday gatherings.

Yes you could use a plain vanilla cake mix. You could add a touch of lemon extract maybe? I’m not sure lemon curd would work because you just add the pudding powder.

But we don’t get ‘yellow cake mix’ or ‘lemon pudding mix’ here in the UK . what would be a good substitute plz. Could I use plain vanilla cake mix and lemon juice or lemon curd ? Thanks in advance.
