Lemon Cake

After seeing a recipe for Lemon Pound Cake I knew it was mine. I had to try it. This cake is amazing and refreshing. I make lemon bars that are dreamy but after trying this cake it's like dreaming in color.

The recipe is from Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contess http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/lemon-cake-recipe.html. It feels like she and I have grown closer from this recipe. She has no idea -  why be a spoil sport. The only difference in the recipe was I used large eggs instead of extra large. I figured she didn't know so it would be ok. 

It was. It is divine.

Thank you Barefoot Contessa!

Grandma Becker's entry for October 6, 1990
"Went to Richardson's Funeral Home. Loren Clabough's son. 
Warm again. Worked outside some. Cleaned up Phlox (they've been so pretty) Big aster plant by the fence and flowers down the driveway. Lunch at home. Gerald at Reggie's. Kenny putting in a new front door-we washed living room, den and our bed room windows. Went to see Helen at 3. Bacon tomato sandwiches for supper."
