So after serving this beautiful cake at the Memorial Day Party, everyone loved it! It wasn't too lemony or sweet or anything. It was just perfect. I did have to bake it longer than the recipe calls for. Just cook it until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. My dad loved it so much he wants me to make it again. He and my grandma fought over who was keeping the left overs! If you try it, let me know what you think!
