Her birthday was actually yesterday (Earth Day), but we're doing the cake on Saturday when her grandparents and eldest sister will be here. The eldest is hitching a ride with them from college. She doesn't know it yet. I'll let the middle daughter do the decorating tomorrow morning. Yes, lemon icing.
I did the cake in a glass casserole dish (13x9 - elliptical). It looks cool.

2. It is still in the pan cooling. |
|
I'm waiting for my wife to get home. Flipping it out and back onto a tray is a two-person job.

5. Sure. It is on the back of the Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Lemon Supreme cake mix. |

I cheated.
1 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs Preheat to 350 Grease & flour pan (cheated here too - used Bakers' Joy canola/flour spray) Blend for 30 seconds on low then 2 minutes on medium Bake 35 minutes (for glass 13x9 pan) Let cool 15 minutes in pan on rack Cool completely before frosting
I bought the frosting in a tub stuff too - also lemon.
Baking isn't my gig. Stove top and casseroles are.

7. It isn't always easy to find. A lot of stores don't carry it. |
|
It is also the only one I know of now.

8. Lemon is my favorite kind of cake. |
|
I make a layer cake and put a layer of icing and a layer of sour lemon curd between the layers. Want. Lucky daughter!
