Ah man, this is so good! And it made my mother and grandmother who weren't fans of lemon, love lemon!

I tried this out on a group of friends who are always willing to be guinea pigs with new recipes. I thinned the frosting with a little more lemon juice to make it more of a glaze. I also used the blueberry sauce recipe from a Taste of Home recipe called Lemonade Pie with Blueberry Sauce. I drizzed a little blueberry sauce over each slice of cake and added a dollop of real whipped cream (not Cool Whip.) This wasn't a low-calorie dessert but it was simple, light and refreshing. Guests raved about this dessert. I've added it to my "keeper" file!

This is the best lemon cake I have ever eaten. I made it for the first time when we had company and it turned out perfect...everybody loved it, including the picky eaters. It has a wonderful lemony flavor and is very moist! The frosting is a nice touch!

Do I put the cake in a cold oven or preheat at 350 degrees?
