Lemon Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I love cooking and baking with lemons. Their flavor is just so darn fresh and yummy! I first tried this lemon cake at a baby shower years ago and I think I may have groaned after the first bite. I made sure to get the recipe from my friend the very next day.

This cake is seriously amazing, and the frosting is what makes it.  It is to die for. No kidding. I could eat it by the spoonful right out of the bowl.  Doesn’t it just look incredible?

I’ve served this cake at baby showers, bridal showers, and potlucks, and it always gets rave reviews. I love making Bundt cakes, because they don’t take any more effort, but they make such a pretty presentation.
