This cake is right from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.  And it is fabulous.  And oh-so-summery!

For the frosting I just threw together some confectioners sugar, some of my leftover zest, and milk. I know I liked the final result!

  1. My son has a smile that lights up a room! Just told him I love when he smiles because I can see his “Daddy dimple” (just like my husband!).

  6. I have to say, my favorite summer dessert is half a cantaloupe with a scoop of ice milk in the middle. But you can feed me Lemon Meringue Pie anytime of year and I won’t say no thank you. hehe
    I told my hubby he has a great smile, he lowered the paper, looked at me and shook his head (like I was nuts) and raised the paper back up to read! hahahaha
