Lemon Cake
Start the week by spoiling yourself with a delicious zesty Lemon Cake!
The weekend went by sooo fast! I hope you had a great one :)
We had a few friends come over and the weather was amazing so I felt like making a simple sweet treat with a zesty citrus flavored twist, so I made this lemon cake which turned out a hit!
I usually don’t like lemony desserts so it was a long shot BUT the flavors blended in so nicely and gave the cake a delicate citrusy twist. So you don’t have to be a lemon fan to love it.
It’s a simple recipe, I hope you love it!
