This cake couldn't get any prettier! It looks beautiful, and tastes great. I had to use vanilla ext. cause I was out of lemon. The frosting is just like marshmellow creme very rich! I'll probably make it without frosting next time, cause we usually eat angel food cake with out it. But I had fun licking the bowl! Thanks for sharing this good recipe!
