    My girlfriend made this for me for my birthday because she knows I love Lemon and cake and it was awesome. My girlfriend has celiac disease so she cannot eat anything with gluten in it, so we used Celimix Deluxe White Cake Mix and it worked perfectly. Celimix is a Canadian product so I'm not sure if it's available to all of you, but if you have celiac disease and you love cake, I highly recommend their line cake mixes. I swear you won't be able to tell the difference between their gluten free cake and regular cake, it's that good.
