Nannie’s Sunday Lemon Cake Gone Orange
My Nannie cooked dinner every Sunday for many years of my life. She often served her delicious and simple lemon cake. I often cook her lemon version but, recently tried it with orange! I think strawberry and lime versions will be next! Simple, delightful and versatile. Just like Nannie.
