It is! It is from a cajun cook book from the 1980s when cajun cooking the fad.

Doberge Cake

½ cup butter or margarine
2¼Cups all purpose flour
¼ cup shortening
2 tsp baking powder
3 egg yolks
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
¾ cup milk
3 stiff-beaten egg whites

Prepare and cool the Lemon Filling. Grease and lightly flour three 8x1 ½ -inch round baking pans. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a large mixer bowl, beat butter or margarine and shortening with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, beating till light and fluffy. Add egg yolks. One at a time, beating one minute after each. Add dry ingredients and milk alternately to beaten mixture, beating after each addition till blended. Gently fold in egg whites by hand.

To make 6 cake layers, transfer a generous ¾ cup of batter into each prepared pan, spreading evenly over the bottom of pan. Bake in a 375° oven for 10 to 12 minutes or till cakes test done. Cool 5 minutes in pans. Remove from pans and cool as directed above.

To assemble, place 1 cake layer on serving plate. Spread a scant ½ cup Lemon filling evenly atop. Repeat with 4 more layers and filling. Top with final layer. Cover and chill thoroughly. Spread Lemon Icing over top and sides of cake. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Before serving, sprinkle top with shredded lemon peal, if desired. Makes 16 servings.

Lemon Filling: In a saucepan combine 1 ¼ cups sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and dash of salt. Stir in 1 ½ cups cold water. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.

Stir about 1 cup of the hot mixture into 3 unbeaten egg yolks. Return mixture to saucepan. Bring mixture to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine and ½ teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel. Gradually stir in 1/3 cup lemon juice. Mix well. Cover surface with clear plastic wrap. Cool the mixture to room temperature without stirring.

Lemon Icing: In a mixer bowl beat 6 ounces of cream cheese, and 3 cups sifted powdered sugar till fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel and ¼ teaspoon vanilla and beat till smooth

I had to laugh this afternoon. We had snow and sleet this afternoon and my birds were not having it. All but a few brave soles went into their shelters and complained loudly. the neighbors were happy to get sweets after listening to the girls complain all afternoon about the stuff coming out of the sky.

That looks and sounds awesome!
