For frosting, mix together the container of Cool Whip and vanilla frosting. Frost sides, and decorate as desired with mint, lemon slices, etc.

Helpful Tips:

This is a great cake, light but refreshing. I made this at Easter and it was a hit. I made up the idea of using the lemon Jell-O in the center and then mixing the frosting and Cool Whip together for a lighter feel.
