I just lopped open a pumpkin for the chickens but saved the seeds for us. I am baking up some traditional flavor and some hot and spicy. Yum!

I just took 2 loaves of buttermilk bread out of the oven. I had a bunch of leftover buttermilk and I wanted fresh bread...I'm not sure what I think of it. The sides and bottom almost taste burnt, but they're not. I dunno, might just be me because I don't like buttermilk to begin with.

So Glad you and Redhen asked for it. This cake is so much worth the extra effort and would be a very impressive cake to take to a church social.
I found the receide on the web, BUT have changed it to include more lemon filling.
My first try with it was with a lemon cake mix. It was very lemon flavored. I am going to do the cake again (today - I think) with a white cake mix.
I think that will make the cake POP

more with contrast between white cake and YELLOW lemon filling. I'll post pics of that and let you know how it tastes compared to the original cake.



"This cake tastes just like lemon meringue pie! Fresh lemon flavor shines through in the custard filling between the layers, and the light meringue frosting adds a fancy finish. It's not only a deliciously different dessert, but it's also a conversation piece! "

Lemon Meringue Cake Recipe
• 12-14 Servings
• Prep: 40 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Ingredients
CAKE:

• 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) lemon or yellow cake mix
• 1 cup water
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup canola oil


Directions for cake:
• The Cake can be made one day ahead. Store it uncut. Then the day of the gathering all you have to do is cut the cake, make the filling, and bake the meringue. . . .
To make the cake, in a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water and oil. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.

• Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
I used Two 8" SQUARE pans for cake.

• Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks.


FILLING:
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup water
• 3/8 cup lemon juice
• 6 egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 ½ teaspoon grated lemon peel


Directions for filling:
• For filling, in a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in water and juice until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly.
Reduce heat to low; cook and stir for 2 minutes longer.

• Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly.

• Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes.

• Remove from the heat; gently stir in butter and lemon peel. Cool completely.


• Cut each cake horizontally into two layers. Place bottom layer on an ovenproof serving plate; spread with a third of the filling. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cake layer.



MERINGUE:
• 4 egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 3/4 cup sugar


Directions for meringue:

• For meringue, in a large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form.

• Spread meringue over top and sides. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned.

• Cool. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Thank you for taking the time to post this. I was excited when I saw the picture, but did not want to put you out by asking for it. It is now copied to my recipe file. Thanks!

And I really could not spell meringue. That was beyond me. Spell check is a wonderful invention.
