It's a cold, gray day, spring isn't in the air yet. Just in time to get some fresh lemons from my conservatory, the lemon plants thrive there and I can bring some sunshine into life with this delicious lemon cake!
I have to admit that this is one of my favorite cakes of all time. Of course, I would probably say something similar if it were my favorite chocolate cake in front of me right now... but no, this lemon cake really is one of my favorites.
