Cake Tuesday: Lemon Cheese-Filled Cake

Check out what heavenly confection you can do with a simple cake mix.



From Denny: We love lemon recipes at our house so when I came across this one you can imagine it caused quite a stir around here! There is something about the combination of cream cheese and lemon that is simply divine. Then add coconut to the mix and your taste buds are orbiting around the planet "formerly known as" Pluto.
