Love the texture of this cake and also was sold on the lemon/almond flavor. Prefer to use grated rind from l or 2 lemons rather than lemon extract. At least for ur it gives a purer lemon flavor. To get a more intense lemon taste you really need the to grate 2 lemons. Otherwise it is a lovely cake and very easy to make.

Moist but not an overwhelming lemon flavor.<br/>I decided to try this recipe for a summer pot luck I was attending and since I was unsure of everyones taste was pleased with the light lemon flavor. This went well with wine and coffee the next morning ;-) Thanks for sharing, passing it one since everyone wanted the recipe.
