This is such a great weekly thread! Totally enjoying your work.
Lemon desserts can never be lemony enough! When I make lemon bars, I use lemon cookie dough as a base and add extra lemon oil.
Thanks for the sprout advice. Definitely have to try. we really like sprouts.
When I was a kid, my maternal Grandfather prided himself on baking a Lemon Layer Cake for each of the Grandkids, on their birthdays. (I don’t think his wife was much of a cook, and Pop took great pride in his cakes.)
I remember the icing being all swirl-y on top, and sprinkled with those tooth-destroying silver dragees. I know it was made from scratch; I don’t have the recipe; but I’d love to taste it again - it was a fabulous cake.
This would have been in the early 1960’s. If anyone has a scratch recipe for Lemon Layer Cake from back then, let me know.
(RIP, Pop!)
