LLC - Lovely Lemon Cake

Sometimes a good friend will share a great recipe.  This time a good friend shared a great recipe with book club!  We went to discuss a book in the spring, and we all went GAGA over the lemon cake.  We call is LLC, and for now, I will call it Lovely Lemon Cake.

It is VERY easy to make!

Lemon Cake

1 ½ c flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 C sugar
2 tablespoons butter softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon extract
⅓ C lemon juice
½ C vegetable oil

Icing
2 C powdered sugar
1 T and 1 teaspoon fat free half and half
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 T I fresh lemon juice

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
With mixer, blend eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon juice
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
Add oil and mix well.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes in a metal loaf pan.  Put it on a sheet pan, because it will leak over.
While baking make the icing.
Let the cake cool 10 minutes in the pan.  Flip out and cool completely and then frost.
