  1. My lemon-loving DH really enjoyed this cake, in place of the lemon extract I added in 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, please don't omit the frosting it really adds so much more flavor to the cake, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)
     
  2. WOW! Served this for Easter family get-together and got rave reviews! Refreshing taste and easy prep. Reminded me of a cake served by a neighbor in my youth. She would bring it outside on the picnic table and serve it to the neighbor kids with sweet tea! That was 40 years ago and I've been looking for the recipe ever since. Thanks for the memories and the really great recipe!
     
  3. Outstanding cake. Great flavour, excellant texture. Big and bold, a moist, rich, cake with subtle lemon flavouring. The frosting is very citrusy and tart. A perfect topping for the cake. Thanks so much for sharing V.

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
