Ingredients
  

For The Cake:

  • 1 package yellow buttermilk cake mix (13.25 ounces)
  • 1 package lemon pudding and pie filling (3.4 ounces)

For The Whipped Cream:

  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 pouches whipped cream stabilizer
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries

Instructions
 

To Make The Cake:

  • Prepare the yellow cake mix in 2 9-inch round cake pans according to the package directions. Cool completely, approximately 1 hour. Prepare the lemon pie filling.
  • Spread the cooled cake layers with a thin layer of the lemon filling, about 1/4 cup total. Save the rest of the filling for another use.

To Make The Whipped Cream:

  • Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, whip the heavy cream on slow speed. When it begins developing soft peaks, gradually add the powdered sugar and the whipped cream stabilizer. Continue to whip until the cream forms stiff peaks. Whip in the vanilla extract.
