Hi there! When the Test Kitchen originally made this recipe, they served it warm. Everyone enjoyed it that way, however you do not need to serve it warm when you serve it. Enjoy!

Not all nutritional needs are diabetic and cake should be for everyone just adjusted for some.

Yes, once the first set of ingredients has been combined the cake should be left to chill at least 8 hours.

Because in the recipe is says to chill at least 8 hours or...OVERNIGHT. Thus the name "overnight".

Hi Maryanna, You cannot substitute lemon juice for lemon extract. These are two different products used in different ways.

What can I substitue for the 1-1/2 sticks of butter? Would 3/4 cup applesauce do it? I am on a low fat diet but I do crave desserts at times. dak_72560@yahoo.com
