Modified recipe from dallasnews.com -- Published January 12, 2011. NOTE: The school bus cake was made for grandson Jake's 2nd birthday! I used a mixture of lime, lemon, and orange zests, and in the glaze, I used orange juice instead of the lemon juice! Made in a 6-cup school bus pan found on Amazon.com; baked at 350F for 35 minutes.

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (2 sticks softened at room temperature)
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1/4 cup lemon juice
lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1 dash salt
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F for metal, or 325F for glass or stoneware.
  • Butter a 6-cup loaf pan (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch) and line it with parchment or wax paper.

  • When the cake is done, let cool in the pan 15 minutes (it will still be warm). Run a knife around the sides of the pan.
  • Set a wire rack on a sheet pan with sides (to catch the glaze) and turn the cake out onto the rack. Peel off the wax paper.
