You will love it!

This lemon cake recipe is great for any occasion. The bright flavor of the zest and juice gives this cake a tangy, sweet, and bold flavor. The addition of apple sauce keeps this cake super moist and fluffy, making it perfect for digging into any time of the day.

Chef Tosca Tip

Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them. It will be much easier to zest a firm lemon.
