What do you get when you take lemons,



peel off the rind



squeeze out the juice



pour a lot of other ingredients in the mixer


spill a few of them



add in the joy of your three year old assistant



and bake???


Hopefully, a delicious  lemon cake to share with dear friends tonight at dinner.



Just in case you want to try this yourself, here's the recipe:
1 cup oil
1 2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
rind and juice of 1 and 1/4 lemons

Mix together oil and sugar.  Beat in eggs one at a time.  Thoroughly combine dry ingredients.  Slowly mix in small amounts of dry mixture to oil & sugar, alternating with adding the buttermilk.  Add lemon juice and rind. Pour into a thoroughly greased bundt pan.  Bake at 350 degrees approximately 50 minutes.  Let cool completely.  Pour frosting over cake.

Frosting: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
