I love lemon desserts. Tart and not too sweet. If the cake is going to stand for a while use the glaze as the sugar will be absorbed in humid conditions. I thank Bill's Personal Cook for this one:)

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I should have added more milk to the batter.

I had a hard time finding lemon extract at my local grocery store. I ended up using lemon zest instead and the cake still turned out great!

This cake was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
