Lemon Perfection!

We ate this entire cake within 24 hours of making it! It is absolutely perfect and I made it exactly as the recipes specifies. I love that it's made with all natural lemon flavor - no artificial aftertaste. This recipe has a permanent place in my recipe collection.

Delicious lemony flavor

I made this cake to take to my husband's Aunt & Uncle's for Easter dinner. As there were to be an abundance of desserts, I baked it into 2 loaves and brought one. I followed the recipe, but added a teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter. Everyone loved the great lemon flavor of this cake. I served the other loaf when we had company later in the week, again to rave reviews! There were many requests for the recipe.
