Lady bird johnson’s lemon cake!!!

This beautiful Lemon Cake will be the star of your desserts!

I made this after the holidays while my parents were still here. We liked this, but it was a bit dry. I think I will cut 5 minutes off bake time.

There is just something about lemon cake that is so satisfying. The citrusy lemon zest doubles down on the butter and sugar in the recipe, making a delicious and perfect year-round treat. Adding a hot cup of tea and you’ve got perfect afternoon snack, but this cake also shines as an after-dinner dessert.

Simple and easy ! My whole family loves this recipe so much. If it were for them, I’d be making this every day! Give it a shot, you’ll love it!To Make this Recipe You’ Will Need the following ingredients:
