Incredible Lemon Cake, If you like lemon, you’re going to love this cake! Saw this recipe being made by the Barefoot Contessa on FoodTV and just had to have it Not being overly experienced, I was a bit intimidated by the recipe However, it is not very hard, looks great and the taste is incredible! Cook time does not include time for the cakes to cool , I found this cake to be incredible moist and delicious! It was a big hit in my house and have already got a request to make it again If you love lemon anything this is the cake for you!
