At last, winter is over and it’s time to pull out the spring recipes! This one is just in time for Easter if you are looking for a delicious dessert.
Lemon Texas Cake puts a great spring twist on the conventional chocolate cake, Texas Sheet Cake. I’m sure most of you are familiar with that cake but this lemon cake is just what we need this time of year as it starts to warm up a little! It is a thin flat cake that can be put together quickly and baked quickly.
I’m not sure how I came upon this recipe but like it just for the love of fruity cakes. This cake is filled with lemon love in every single bite! I love lemon flavored desserts and this one uses natural lemon juice. None of the bottled stuff goes into this cake and it has even extra zing because of the grated lemon rind and lemon flavoring, topped with a great lemon frosting.
The scent of lemon is in the air with this cake. It won’t make you pucker up but, it will be the perfect end to a meal!
