Guest Post: Luscious Lemon Cake…*
…a light and refreshing tangy treat!
By: Jessica Ellis
As the “big sister,” my job is to lead by example, protect my younger siblings, and teach them all of life’s valuable lessons. Every once in a while (if you’re lucky like me) you get a chance to learn a little something from them too. I have been blessed with a little sister whose talents in the kitchen far exceed anything I could ever attempt to teach her, especially when it comes to baking! So for her college graduation, I had to try and honor her accomplishments both in the classroom and in the kitchen, with aspecial cake to show her how very proud I am!
This cake packs a ton of flavor while remaining totally simple and perfect for any spring gathering. I topped it with a few plump raspberries for added color and tartness. At the end of the day, I think I did a pretty good job…but in the future, I think I’ll leave the sweet creations up to the expert! I hope you enjoy my small attempt at big flavor with this Luscious Lemon Cake inspired by the love I have for my little sister.
