Mmmmmmmmmm... can't you smell it baking? My mother is known for her lemon cake, better known as
'the required lemon cake'. It isn't fancy or hard to make but it is yummy. Sweet and tart all at the same time. I was thinking of taking something to Nashville when my grandbaby is born, (this week we hope) so I thought I would make lemon cupcakes. Because the baby mama has celiac I made a batch of regular and batch of
gluten free. Now I have to say that the gluten free are a little chewy but if you are a celiac then chewy cake is better than 'No Cake'. Either way you start with a mix and 'doctor' it up! This cake freezes very well. Mom always kept some in the freezer for a quick thaw in the microwave treat. My mom's cooking was always a blessing. Enjoy!!! ele
