Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Cut out two 9-inch round segments of parchment paper to line your cake pans with. Spray each pan generously - sides and bottom - with nonstick cooking spray, then place the parchment paper cut out in the bottom of the pans and spray again. It's important to make sure every bit of pan and paper are sprayed so your cakes don't get stuck. Set pans aside.
- In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), combine the butter, both sugars, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla extract; beat on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes (don't skimp on time here!). Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mixing well to evenly combine the ingredients. Add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until everything is just barely combined. You should still see some lumps and dry streaks. Turn mixer off. Add in the milk, sour cream, and lemon juice; use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients into the mixture, stirring until everything is incorporated, but being sure not to overmix. Set aside.
- In another bowl, gently toss the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Add the raspberries, and any remaining flour, to the batter and fold in by hand, using a rubber spatula, until just combined. Again, be sure not to over mix! Over mixing is very easy to do, and will result in a dry, dense cake.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the tops are firm and slightly golden, and a cake tester (or toothpick) inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist (but not wet) crumbs clinging to it.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen any stuck bits, then turning them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes cool, you can make the frosting.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper and butter the paper.
- Combine the butter, granulated sugar, oil, lemon zest and vanilla together in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs in, one at a time. Beat in the lemon juice.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake in the center of the oven until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around the edges of the pans and invert onto racks to cool completely.
- For the frosting and filling: Beat the butter, cream cheese, lemon zest and juice and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until very smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until incorporated and smooth. Separate 1 cup of the frosting to a bowl. Mix the jam into the cup of frosting.
- Spread the raspberry frosting on top of one cake layer. Arrange most of the raspberries on top (reserve 7 or 8 for the top of the cake). Carefully put the second cake layer on top. Take about 1 cup of the remaining plain frosting and use it to cover the entire cake in a thin, even layer (it is okay if it looks messy). Refrigerate the cake until the frosting is firm, about 20 minutes. Use the remaining frosting to evenly cover the cake. Mound the remaining raspberries in the center and serve.

Mix on low until combined, then turn the mixer up to medium-high and stream in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Whip the frosting until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, adding additional lemon juice as necessary until frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store leftover cake at room temperature, covered for up to 2 days.

Lemon pie filling lends a splash of citrus flavor to convenient cake mix, and a rich cream cheese frosting gives it sweetness. My family likes this lemon sheet cake cold, so I cut it into squares and freeze before serving. -Alyce Dubisar, North Bend, Oregon

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and line the base and sides with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed to lighten slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Rub together the granulated sugar and lemon zest in a medium bowl to combine. Add the sugar to the mixer and cream on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and mix until well combined. Scrape the bowl well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition until fully incorporated and scraping the bowl well after every 2 to 3 additions.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Add the flour to the mixer in 2 to 3 additions, mixing each until fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake until the cake springs back slightly when pressed right in the center, 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, then remove the outer ring and peel away the parchment paper. Transfer the cooled cake to a serving platter or cake stand.
- For finishing: Use a paring knife to cut a round out of the center of the cake -- start about 2 inches from the outside edge. Remove this round of cake and cut about 1/2-inch from the bottom (save this to eat as a snack).
- Spoon the lemon curd into the center of the cake, then place the trimmed cake back on top. Refrigerate while you prepare the whipped cream.
- Whisk together the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl to medium peaks. Spoon the cream over the top of the cake and spread into an even layer. Arrange the raspberries on top and sprinkle with lemon zest, if using. Refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 6 hours).
