Lemon Cake
"My mother got this recipe from Nina Winn many, many years ago and it quickly became a family favorite. Easy and super moist and so very very good. Great for potluck dinners, block parties, birthdays and even every day! Great on it's own or dress it up with fresh berries of your choice."
