Part of what makes it special is that she always brought it on a piece of her wedding china. “In our family it’s just Nana’s Lemon Cake. “They called it the ‘Required Lemon Cake’ because it was required at every family function,” explains Amy. But I kept trying and now even Nana approves of my version!”Īmy’s grandmother started making the cake more than 50 years ago, when her best friend gave her the recipe. And don’t open the oven while it’s baking or it will fall. “I learned the hard way that when the recipe says to cool the cake completely before you remove it from the pan, it means it. It took six cakes, baked over about three months, but she did it-and her father-in-law approved. Meanwhile, mix together powdered sugar, lemon juice and grated rine, and orange. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until tests done.
Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Using an electric mixer, mix until well blended and smooth. “My father-in-law wanted it for his birthday, and it was up to me to make it.” Mix together in a large bowl, cake mix, jello, vegetable oil, apricot nectar and eggs.
“I can be a bit impatient, which does not go well with baking.” So when Amy’s 92-year-old grandmother told her that it was getting difficult to continue to make her famous lemon cake, Amy knew it was time to put on her apron and figure it out. “It’s just not one of my best skills,” she laughs. Royal Neighbors member and sales agent Amy Davis is good at a lot of things, but, admittedly, baking is not one of them.
