Spanish Lemon Cake

Susie T's Note:

This was given to me by a very dear friend who makes these wonderful pastries and cakes. She got this one out of a Spanish Cookbook -- that's why I've named it Spanish Lemon Cake.

This cake is sublime, and so so easy! After I zested the lemon I squeezed the juice into a measuring cup, and then topped it up with (soy) milk to make 1 cup of liquid. The cake was so soft. It was going so fast I quickly made another one, this time with orange zest and orange juice. Served that one with my Creamsicle Ice Cream and Lennie's Chocolate Orange Sauce on top for a really wonderful dessert!
