This cake is amazing! It’s a family favorite for Derek’s family and it is often requested for birthday parties. Just thinking about this cake right now is really making me crave it. I love the lemon flavor and the texture of the cake.
Derek requested this cake for his birthday party as he does every year. He likes cake but can’t eat too much of it because cake is usually so sweet. That is why he loves this cake so much. He can eat a slice of it without feeling like he ate way too much sugar. I can’t wait to have this cake again. It’s so tasty and everyone loves it.
