I just baked a lemon cake for my 15 year old daughter's birthday!

Her birthday was actually yesterday (Earth Day), but we're doing the cake on Saturday when her grandparents and eldest sister will be here. The eldest is hitching a ride with them from college. She doesn't know it yet. I'll let the middle daughter do the decorating tomorrow morning. Yes, lemon icing.

I did the cake in a glass casserole dish (13x9 - elliptical). It looks cool.

2. It is still in the pan cooling.

I'm waiting for my wife to get home. Flipping it out and back onto a tray is a two-person job.

5. Sure. It is on the back of the Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Lemon Supreme cake mix.

I cheated.

1 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs
Preheat to 350
Grease & flour pan (cheated here too - used Bakers' Joy canola/flour spray)
Blend for 30 seconds on low then 2 minutes on medium
Bake 35 minutes (for glass 13x9 pan)
Let cool 15 minutes in pan on rack
Cool completely before frosting

I bought the frosting in a tub stuff too - also lemon.

Baking isn't my gig. Stove top and casseroles are.

7. It isn't always easy to find. A lot of stores don't carry it.

It is also the only one I know of now.

8. Lemon is my favorite kind of cake.

I make a layer cake and put a layer of icing and a layer of sour lemon curd between the layers. Want. Lucky daughter!
