Step 4

Note: I don't know if the frosting mix is available for this cake any more, but I'd bet that a canned lemon frosting or home-made with the sour cream, lemon peel, and juice added would work perfectly well. I haven't made it in a couple of years, just found this booklet the other day and remembered how we used to love these cakes! I plan to make both the Pineapple Cheese Swirl and the Cheese Ripple Fudge very soon, and will report back about my results with current mixes,etc. I haven't seen a Create-A-Cake mix in years, but I dorecall that a regular pudding-in-the-mix-type yellow cake worked fine the last time I made the Pineapple Cheese Swirl Cake, and a regular fudge cake mix worked fine for the Cheese Ripple Fudge Cake.
