Lemon Cake Recipe

[Nikole]

This is one of my faves and thought I'd share with you....It is not an overly sweet cake and I get rave reviews anytime I serve it or bring it to someone's house.

SOUR LEMON CAKE
1 Cup Butter
1 ½ Cup Sugar
4 Large Eggs
3 Cup Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
1 Cup Milk
Grated rinds of 2 lemons
Glaze:
1/3 Cup Cognac
1/3 Cup Lemon Juice, fresh squeezed
½ cup Sugar
Preheat to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 2 9' cake pans. Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs one at a time. Sift dry ingredients, add to butter mixture alternating with the milk. Stir in lemon rind. Pour batter into pan, bake for 1 hour (until tester comes out clean). Remove and sit for a few minutes. Turn cake onto a rack. Stir together glaze ingredients until sugar dissolves and brush onto the cake. Cool

This sounds sooooo good! I just love lemon!!! Especially when it isn't sweet . . . my favorite lemon meringue was my grandmother's - it almost made your mouth pucker . . . well, at least in your head.

Thanks for sharing,
