Shawn, your supposed to beat the butter and sugar for 20 minutes? Is that right? It seems like an awfully long time.

You have to follow the recipe, Bonnie. I've never made the cake before.

Ok, the cake is in the oven. I didn't beat the butter/ sugar mixture for 20 minutes though as I still think thats excessive. Also since I didn't have lemon extract I substituted lemon zest and vanilla extract and judging by the batter the cake should be pretty good.

I'll let yeah know.

The cake is fantastic! I made a simple syrup of 7'up and sugar and drizzled it on the still warm cake. However next time I would add the juice of one lemon to the syrup as I found the cake overly sweet and personally like the contrast of the acid of the lemon with the sweetness of the cake.

One other thing, this recipe makes a HUGE cake. Either make it to freeze or to share and it would be brilliant for a picnic. Thanks for the recipe Shawn.
