Well, I have some exciting news! I have a New Year's resolution that I know you will love! BLOG MORE! Yes, that is one of my New Year's resolutions.
I love lemon. I am obsessed with it. I put lemon juice on my apples even if I am going to sit down and eat them as soon as I finish putting on the lemon juice. When I was reading the blog Orangette (I went way back to the very beginning of the blog) I found this recipe. Well, let me say that when I figured out that there was lemon zest and lemon juice in this recipe, lets just say I went a little nuts.Then it clicked. My first post of the New Year should be on this lemon cake.
It just so happened that I had 2 lemons in my fridge. Just enough for the fresh juice from 2 lemons needed for this. After I came home from the BC woman's basketball game against Virginia Tech with my cousins (which BC won 70-63), I made this cake. The batter took no time at all. Then I had dinner. After dinner, I glazed the cake. I got a little worried making the glaze because the glaze is so thin, it hardly looked like glaze but, it turns out the glaze was perfect. After I glazed the cake, I could not resist not having a piece then and there. So, I did. The cake was very tangy. VERY! But it was good. So, good I packed some in my lunch today. I thought it was even possible better, when it was a day old. Now I am sitting here having another piece now. I could not post about this cake without saying that this cake is a wonderfully, spongy yougurt cake. I think I might try the cake on its on and report back. Really. It might be the cake I make for birthday parties from now on. The cake could be made using many different variations (orange, raspberry, chocolate, etc.) Really, try this cake. It is a quick, easy, cake to make and it is so delicious!
