1 package (16 ounces) pound cake mix (plus ingredients to make cake)

1 large lemon

3/4 cup boiling water

1 package (6 ounces) lemon gelatin

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup cold milk

1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 package (3.4 ounces) cheesecake instant pudding and pie filling

1   kiwi, peeled, sliced and halved

1 cup blueberries

DIRECTIONS

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line Large Bar Pan with 13-inch piece of Parchment Paper. Prepare cake mix according to package directions; pour into pan, spreading evenly. Bake 15-18 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean; cool 10 minutes. Using edges of paper, carefully lift cake ontoStackable Cooling Rack; cool completely.

2

Zest lemon using Zester/Scorer; set aside. Juice lemon using Juicer to measure 1/4 cup juice. Pour boiling water into Small Batter Bowl. Add gelatin and 2 tablespoons of the juice; reserve remaining juice for cream cheese mixture. Stir until gelatin is dissolved.

3

Invert cooled cake onto smooth side of Large Grooved Cutting Board; remove paper. Prick cake at 1/2-inch intervals using Hold 'N Slice®. Using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush, brush cake evenly with all but 2 tablespoons of the gelatin mixture. Trim 1/4 inch around edge of cake; discard edges. Cut cake crosswise into 3 equal layers.

4

In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice; whisk until smooth. Add milk; whisk until smooth. Spoon whipped topping over cream cheese mixture. (Do not mix.) Sprinkle with pudding mix; mix well using Classic Scraper until smooth. (Mixture will be thick.)

5

Place 1 cake layer on Oval Platter. Attach open star tip to Easy Accent® Decorator; fill with filling mixture. Pipe a straight border around edge of cake layer. Using Large Scoop, place 4 scoops of filling down center; spread evenly to border. Top with second cake layer. Repeat filling as above. For third layer, pipe a decorative border around edge. Spread any remaining filling down center.

6

Arrange kiwi slices on top of cake. Add blueberries to reserved gelatin mixture; mix gently. (If gelatin mixture has set, microwave on HIGH 5-10 seconds or until softened.) Spoon blueberries over top of cake; sprinkle with reserved zest. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves, if desired.
