Lemon Sponge Cake image

I found this in an old Nebraska 4-H cookbook the other day. It's wonderfully moist! I would suggest to maybe put a little more lemon juice than suggested (I LOVE lemon!) or maybe even grate a little lemon peel into it. I made a powdered sugar icing with more lemon juice to drizzle on top. The family really liked this one and I'm definitely going to make it again.

The cake didn't turn out as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong, but it was definitely a learning experience. I'll try again soon!

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked it. Next time, I'll keep a closer eye on it in the oven.

The cake didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I didn't measure the ingredients correctly?

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the batter. Next time, I'll be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this cake changed my mind. The lemon flavor is subtle and refreshing, and the cake itself is so light and airy. I could definitely eat a whole slice (or two!)

This cake is so versatile! I've made it with different types of citrus fruits, like oranges and limes, and it's always delicious. I also like to add a layer of whipped cream or fruit preserves for a special touch.
