The area I'm from we just don't use fillings except for bc. My mom's birthday is the end of the month and she really likes lemon cake. I'm trying to get everyone to spread their wings a little and thought about a filling for her cake. What would be a good filling that doesn't need refrigeration? I thought about lemon pie filling but would that be too much lemon? Or I thought about bavarian cream? The recipe I found calls for the bettercream and instant pudding and water. Does that need refrigeration? Thanks for any help.

I love canned lemon pie filling with it but a rasberry is also good with lemon

I'd vote for raspberry mixed with some non-dairy whipped cream.

I also do a blackberry filling with a lemon curd filling that's great. A little of both.

If you're not used to anything but b/c for filling - I'd go with ShirleyW's bavarian cream in lemon:

Pastry Pride and Rich's Bettercreme used as filling/frosting don't require refrigeration.

However, Cool-Whip, even though non-dairy requires refrigeration:
(see butternut and flayvurdfun's posts)

Lemon Curd if you really like lemon, you can buy it premade. Also as said raspberry preserves are good with it. Blueberry preserves is yummy with lemon cake as well.

I love blueberry and lemon they are a fantastic combination. I just made my mom's 77th b-day cake and it was her favourite lemon cake with lemon curd filling especially with a buttercream icing as the lemon cuts the sweetness.

Thanks for all the suggestions, how do you make the lemon curd filling?

I usually use lemon curd with lemon cake also but strawberry is yummy too.

The lemon cured recipe I use, I got from Rose Levy Beranbaum's Cake Bible site (for lemon bars). It's very good and I have switched limes for lemons before.

Here's a link to the recipe: http://www.thecakebible.com/index2.html

Just follow the part for the curd. The bars are great though, too.
