  1. Lovely, moist cake. I didn't have lemon extract, so substituted with lemon zest x2. I also substituted lemon juice for 1/3 of the orange juice. Great lemon flavor and the glaze took it even further. We love lemon in this house so everyone was in heaven! Thank you for an easy, delicious cake. Can't wait for berry season!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Training culinary:2 years culinary school Houston Community College (downtwn branch highly recommend) French pastry and artisan breads. I am immersed in family, spouse and everything homeside. it is now my time having retired, to do all the fun things I couldn't do while working. I believe life is most bountiful when we serve others. I also believe the best cooks are those who cook and bake with a love of making people happy. I especially enjoy sending cookies to our soldiers in Iraq. It is a joy to read their letters and emails of appreciation for a taste of home. I also love sewing, upholstery, gardening,church activities and remodeling take up the time not spent with family. I hope I can be as helpful to the cooks on Recipezaar as they have been helpful to me. When time permits I love to test and review recipes on this site that appeal to me. I am also a believer in power naps.
