This is really good! I love the lemony taste. I used a silicone cake pan and I do not recommend that. Part of the cake stuck to the pan and then I remembered that happened last time I used it. So the cake did not turn out so pretty but it is delicious! I will make this again. -
I actually used dried blueberries to make this and it was excellent. It disappeared in a flash. A keeper for sure.
