This must be the easiest and tastiest lemon cake. I make it all winter when we live in Portugal because, for some reason or another, their self raising flour is ideal. Have tried it with the Canadian version and results were not nearly so good. We only can buy Brodie brand in this area. Anyway, it does depend on the flour. Also, quite often I make it in a square pan rather than a deep one and adjust cooking time. Thanks for submitting.
