Lemon Sponge Cake image

I found this in an old Nebraska 4-H cookbook the other day. It's wonderfully moist! I would suggest to maybe put a little more lemon juice than suggested (I LOVE lemon!) or maybe even grate a little lemon peel into it. I made a powdered sugar icing with more lemon juice to drizzle on top. The family really liked this one and I'm definitely going to make it again.

This is the worst lemon sponge cake I've ever had. It was dry, dense, and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the cake itself was very moist.
