| I have baked at least half a dozen lemon cake recipes, I have liked them all just fine but I am still searching for that amazing recipe. Does anyone have a lemon cake recipe (could be layer cake, chiffon cake, pound cake whatever) that you don’t just like but that you LOVE and are willing to share? Thanks!! |

I love Odette William’s lemon cake - I have the cookbook but here is a link I found online: https://www.thevanillabeanblog.com/lovely-lemon-yogurt-cake/
I make 2 tweaks - I add lemon zest to the batter, and I prefer to forego the glaze and instead dust the top with powdered sugar with a little crystalized lemon mixed in (you can but in baking aisle - is little packets of unsweetened lemon juice crystals). |

| David Lebovitz has an amazing lemon semifreddo recipe in his book Ready for Dessert. It’s not actually a semifreddo, but an ultra lemony sponge cake layered with lemon cream. Currently making it for a birthday! |

I discovered wacky cakes because of DC's allergies, but I always get compliments on this one:

I use this one, but can't remember where I found it, I think it was a Facebook share:
Mix until combined: 1 box lemon cake mix (yellow, if you can't find lemon) 1 small box of instant vanilla pudding mix 1/2 cup sour cream 3/4 oil 1/2 cup of water 1/2 cup sugar 4 eggs Zest of two lemons Juice of 2 1/2 lemons Bake in a well greased Bundt pan for 50 minutes at 350. Icing: 8oz cream cheese softened 2 cups powered sugar zest of one lemon Juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon from above Combine and then refrigerate in ziplock while cake is baking and cooling. Once done I clip the corner of the bag and zip frosting back and forth. Sprinkle with any remaining lemon zest if I have some. My family devours this. All of that moisture in the cake combines to make a lemon curd style where the cake is super moist and amazing. You really don't need the frosting, but we like it anyways. |

This is my favorite. You could easily turn cupcakes into a cake. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/lemon-cupcakes-with-blackberry-cream-cheese-frosting/
I like the Ina Garten lemon yogurt cake too, but when I want "cake cake," I use the Sally's recipe. |
