Great-Grandma's Lemon Cake
SUBMITTED BY:
Glenda Stokes
"'Baking and giving' is a hobby of mine, and I love to bake my gifts by using old-fashioned recipes like this one, which was my great-grandmother's. There aren't too many shortcuts in these directions, but I enjoy aspect of 'measuring and mixing'! This is one of my favorites, copied down from my mother's old cookbook."
