Oh, gosh, BK, what a fabulous cake. Prepared for dessert tonight and was sorry I ate dinner. I should have gone directly to the cake, not passing GO! The cake is great, the sauce sent it out of the park! I must admit I did add a little zest to the sauce, but otherwise, wouldn't change a thing. Thnx so much for posting, BK. Made for ZWT4.

This was an excellent recipe! The cake was moist and tasty. I thought the sauce and cake were a little too sweet and kept thinking the whole time I was making it...."I should add more lemon juice, I should add more lemon juice". I'm sorry I didn't as I prefer a tart lemon flavor with my lemon desserts. I did add more lemon to the sauce though and that made it much better. It was delicious and we did totally enjoy it. Made for Zingo for ZWT4 while touring around the world with my Babes.

Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
