Notes: This recipe was adapted from Canadian Living and made by my Mom, Grandma Betts, back in the early 1980s.It has been served for many celebrations, including Kevin and Kendal's wedding in 2012.
Countless times guests will remark " This is the best cake ever!". As a hostess, I agree. It is all made ahead , looks great and tastes wonderful. The sweetness of the meringue blends with the tartness of the lemon as the smooth filling slides over the crunchy layers. It makes your mouth feel like it has been kissed by a dessert goddess (or god.)
