Lemon Streusel Cake image

Whenever friends compliment me on my zesty cake, I say, "Thanks Mom!" Her recipe for Lemon Streusel Cake was among dozens I took with me when I turned 21 and left home. When I was growing up, we had five kinds of fruit trees plus a big garden in our yard. Many times during the summer, I'd be so full from snacking on the "crops" that I'd have trouble finishing supper! Today, I'm a nurse in a large hospital-but my husband and I look forward someday to living in the country.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the batter. The streusel topping was good, but I found the cake itself to be a bit dense.
