  • Notes:

    Experience has taught me that if the cake breaks apart when you try to remove it from the pan, it is no big deal. Break the cake into bite size chunks and drizzle with the lemon sauce. Use a whipped topping when you serve it and call it Lemon Bread Pudding. It will be a big hit.

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cups - Shortening (Crisco)
  2. 1 sticks - Butter or margarine
  3. 2 1/2 cups - Sugar
  4. 4 - Eggs
  5. 3 1/2 cups - Plain flour
  6. 1 teaspoons - Salt
  7. 1 cups - Buttermilk
  8. 1 teaspoons - Baking soda dissolve in 1 tablespoon of hot water
  9. 2 cups - Hot water

Directions:

Cream shortening and butter together, blending well. Add sugar gradually and cream until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Sift flour and salt together and add alternately with buttermilk, mixing well. Add lemon extract.

With mixer at lowest speed, add the dissolved baking soda. Pour batter into greased and floured spout pan. If using an angel food cake pan, don't grease. Line the bottom of the pan with wax paper instead.

Lemon sauce:
Mix lemon sauce ingredients together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Slowly pour over hot cake.
