Directions:
Prepare cake as directed into 2 8-9 inch pans. Cool.
Mix cond milk and lemon juice. Set 1 cup mixture aside. Cool each separate mixture.
Split each cooled cakes horizontally. Dental floss works best. Should have 4 layers in total.
Put one layer of cake on serving dish/stand, Add ⅓ lemon juice/cond milk mixture. Repeat with remaining layers and mixture.
Mix Cool Whip with remaining lemon/cond mild mixture. Ice cake with Cool Whip mixture.
Note: Because the layers will slip when you ice cake, stick 5 wooden skewers around cake perimeter, and break them off. You can ice cake over them, then remove them when cutting cake.

Personal Notes:
Borrowed from my gourmet, food teachers...Melissa & Dennis Foreman
This cake is best made day before to let layers meld together. Must be refrigerated.
Great served in summer with fresh strawberry/sugar topping.
