What is this? Why yes, it is my 200th post as a matter of fact! I feel like I should do something fun to celebrate. Let's brainstorm... how do I normally celebrate things? Well, eating of course. I guess I could make a cake, but that's not much fun for you guys. Here's the next best thing I guess- a recipe for a cake! What's next? Music and dancing! I've got just the commercial for us today! But I still feel like we're missing something.... ah! Yes, that's it- a stupid pun. We're missing a pun. See below (if you dare). There! Celebration complete!
Lemon Cream Cake
1/2 c vegetable shortening
1 c white sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp grated lemon peel
2 c white flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 c sour cream
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and lightly flour two 9 in. round cake pans. Beat all ingredients together for several minutes until smooth. Bake for approximately 20-30 mins. or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overcook. Cool completely before frosting.
Lemon Buttercream Frosting
1/2 c butter, softened
4 c confectioners' sugar
4-5 tbsp lemon juice
Cream the butter and sugar. Add lemon juice one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring if you like.
