Rave reviews for this dessert that is not overly lemony. So simple to make and makes enough that you can freeze some for later.
My husband loves anything lemon. So this recipe was perfect. To try something a little different, instead of the lemon glaze I made homemade raspberry curd which I swirled into the top of the batter before baking. Looked pretty, tasted great. Thanks for sharing.
I made this recipe last night, can’t tell you what a hit it was.
