Betty Crocker Lemon-Raspberry Cake Recipe


The red raspberry preserves filling in this lemony yellow cake makes each slice pretty as a picture!

Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
6 tablespoons raspberry preserves
1 1/4 cups butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
