Every good cook should have one recipe that they have up their sleeve to wow guests and this is mine. I love everything lemon and this is no exception.
I have a confession to make, I am horrible at making rice so I bought a rice maker. I cant really do pie crust either that is why we have ready made. It is good to have a good dessert in your arsenal also.
This cake can be enjoyed with breakfast with a cup of coffee. It can also be enjoyed for dessert after lunch or dinner, or as a snack in the afternoon with a cup of tea. Either way, who ever you decide to serve this to will love it.
3 sticks softened butter
2 cups white sugar
6 eggs
1 tablespoon lemon extract
8 ounces sour cream
3 cups flour
1 stick butter
1 box confectioner sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and eggs and add eggs one at a time until blended. Add extract and sour cream. Add flour and blend until smooth. Pour into a prepared pan and bake for 45 to one hour. Allow to cool for an hour before adding glaze. For glaze melt butter in a sauce pan and add confectioner sugar and lemon zest. Pour over cake.
Peace be with you,
Veronica
