Lemon Cake

I love this cake. This is looking very beautiful and tasty. It is easy to prepare. In fact, this cake is not too sweet, which makes it perfect for breakfast, perfect as a light dessert after a heavy dinner!. This is a really easy lemon cake, with no glazes and no whipping or folding. I wanted a cake that was not overly sweet, as I did not do a lemon glaze I just use a powdered sugar for decoration
