Lemon Cake, An Ina Garten recipe, slightly modified as I like my cakes slightly less sweet A lovely loaf – great on its own or serve it with lemon curd and fresh raspberries , Made this for Dh as he’s the lemon-lover and he did indeed love it Served this with recipe #37890 which took it over the top I liked the modification of less sugar, not missing it at all Made this as a bundt cake Next time I’ll turn the heat down to 325? as it got a little too brown at the bottom of the pan while the top needed a full hour to complete baking , I loved Evelyn’s Raspberry Shortbread amazing so I had high hopes for this recipe, but I wish I had remembered Sugarpea’s review for the cake did get burnt at the bottom while the top was a lovely golden brown Very dense, very, very moist cake Thank you for posting
