Woh woh woh, I never eat a lemon 🍋cake like this one. I bake it once a week and told myself “this is enough” but sorry, if I found myself, I’m baking it again. I Just CANT get enough of this lemon cake. It is one of those you feel hiding in your room and eat it by yourself!!!!
It comes out perfect every time. Thank you Mogau.
