Lemon Cake

 LEMON CAKE 

I purchased this week this Lemon Cake from the Marketplace in Southampton, Bermuda and decided to do a blog post just like I would post here but without the recipe.  Here are the photos.  The cake was nice and delicious for those hot summer evening that you have it plain alone or with a scoop of ice cream.  I had a package of lemon filling to which I was planning to make either cake or cupcakes and fill like this cake, but with the hot summer kitchen, I don't get to bake as much as I would like to.  Thank you Marketplace for your service.
