I am starting to feel a little bit normal after the flu.
I wanted to bake tonight but did not want to over do it.
This recipe was perfect. Something easy and after a week of wet and foggy days the lemon was a bright and sunny change.
The recipe is from An Italian in the Kitchen. I use a lot of her recipes. They always come out great.
I cut the recipe in 1/2 and used my small bundt pan. The perfect size for a weekend breakfast snack.
This is the recipe for a full size cake.
