I have found the secret to making ANY cake amazing, is indeed an electric mixer! Not just a hand mixer, but a fully electric one. My grandmother gave me her old one and I use it absolutely for everything! This cake is fantastic– kudos!

Lemon cake is my husband’s favorite. I made this for his birthday party, because we have dairy-free guests that I wanted to enjoy the festivities as well.

This cake is wonderful…I used brown sugar to give it a more caramelized flavor… drizzled a lemon-blackberry compote over it. It was fab.

Hey,

This cake just came out of the oven… and… wow!!!

It was a simple, easy and un-messy recipe… quickly comes out of the oven… and… it’s delicious… moist… fruity… zesty… lemony… I will definitely be making this and working with the zest along with maybe throwing in an extract here or there to give it some extract depth…

This will be my go to simple cake recipe…

I made this cake for the birthday of a friend who cannot have dairy. EVERYONE loved it. I was light but seemed very buttery in your mouth. The taste was totally fresh and clean. It is essential to the texture to dust the sugar on top of the cake. It steals the show and makes the top have a crackly texture that adds a ton of interest to the meltingly smooth texture of the cake. Certainly a great hot weather dessert and not one that makes you feel like you are missing anything. This cake is a standout!

I made this cake last night. I couldn’t wait to try it. It was amazing. It was so lite, moisted and airy. The other amazing thing is that it was so easy to make. Delicious!!

This looks delicious. Mario Batali’s place here in NYC serves an olive oil gelato that would go great with this cake!

Made this cake 3 times in the last month. Everytime better results. I tried it with Meyer Lemons the second time and it was just as good. I used the fifth egg white for fun on the last one and it made it a little fluffier at 40 minutes in the oven. Coworkers love it as much as the ubiquitous Krispy Kreme. Has anyone tried this with oranges?

Ah, I was considering those but wanted to get some other blogger’s thought so definitely let me know if you like them. I wish I had the natural light at my disposal but, alas, live amongst thick trees so not much light gets in the house. Pros and cons to that, of course… :)
