If I can find my tube pan, I am making that.

So grease pan only? No flour?

Baked it early this morning. Used the 9 x 13 glass. Completely missed adding vanilla. Forgot the oil until I had poured the batter - I poured it back in the mixing bowl add added the oil(.

Perhaps we could have a “failures” thread if anyone wants to be honest). I believe anyone who spends time in the kitchen would have something to contribute.

Also, I think I baked it just a bit too hot.

But - it turned out pretty good. Not sure if omitting the vanilla affected this, but, to me, it needed more spice.

I made a lemon glaze. Sifted confectioner’s sugar and juice and zest of two large lemons - I guess about two cups of sugar.
