There is just something about lemon cake that is so satisfying. The sour lemon zest dilutes the butter and sugar in the recipe, making for a delicious and perfect treat all year round. Add a hot cup of tea or a cup of cold milk and you'll have the perfect afternoon snack, but this cake really sparkles as an after-dinner dessert.
When this lemon cake recipe comes from the esteemed first lady recipe box, you have a world-class recipe on hand. It is now known that Lady Bird Johnson lemon cake was one of her signature desserts. Among its other favorite desserts were lace cakes, lemon squares, and hazelnut cookies.
First Lady Johnson was a passionate chef and baker in the 1960s times, preparing recipes like cold salads made with green beans and strips of chicken. These were a little more elegant than jello salads and other oddities of the era. But it was known for its classics (and delicious Southern biscuits, too).
This lemon cake recipe is quite distinctive and gets a kick from fresh lemon rind, lemon juice, and from a milkshake that differs from most other cakes. If you are looking for something that truly impresses your family and guests, then this cake is the right fit for the job.
