I LOVE lemon cake. I shouldn't admit this but, a local woman I know, who is very involved in a local church makes the some of the best lemon cake I've ever tried. I've been persuaded into attending several of their functions, knowing she was bringing one All of the older ladies attending this church are quite the cooks/bakers. It's an easy sell, to get me to show up, when I know they're bringing food

I appreciate all things lemon now more than ever.
Guess it is because I have a citrus tree in my back yard and the lemons are falling of the branches because I can't use them fast enough!
Great recipe!
