Only 1/2 cup flour for entire cake?

Sometimes I get the white cake mix and add a bag of chopped cranberries (I use the blender). I mix powdered sugar, butter and lemon juice to drizzle on top. It is really tasty. Your lemon cake recipe reminded me of it. I will have to make some soon or try out your recipe. =)

I suppose I should know that but I don't - what is the zest of a lemon?

I suppose I should know that but I don't - what is the zest of a lemon?

It is part of the peel, You can Buy a zester to get it off or I use a grater because it is all I have. It makes the "zest" bigger than with a zester.

Just grab your lemon and grate/zest until it gets to the white part of the lemon. You do not want the white part.

I hope this helps.

I know you werent asking for a cake mix but Duncan Hines makes a great lemon cake box mix, just add 3 eggs and oil and water and beat it with a mixer and it is sooooo delicious
