I tried it and my daughter and her friends all said it was the best cake they have EVER eaten (I strongly agree and I’m not a lemon cake person). I didn’t have lemon extract so I just added some extra lemon zest to cake and icing. I actually liked the icing better with the peel instead of the extract. And, I only had vanilla greek yogurt and liked it better with that as well. I made it a second time exactly like the recipe and liked the first one better…so did everyone else. Oh So Yummy for the Tummy!!!
