Sometimes you want to bake a treat for family or friends or a party that you’re having.  And sometimes you want to bake JUST BECAUSE!  I think this cake is a “just because” kind of cake.  It’s great for snacking.  It’s perfect with tea.  And it tastes fabulous! Lemon is a big-time favorite cake flavor.  This cake has the perfect amount of tartness to it.  And a lemon simple syrup is drizzled on top and soaks into the cake– making it extra tender and lemony.

Thank you to Miranda from the CookieDoughAndOvenMitt.com blog for shooting beautiful photos of this cake for me.  I think Miranda certainly captured how delicious it truly is!
