1 lemon. Grate peel & set aside. Squeeze juice and mix with ½ cup sugar. Set where the sugar will get

warm and dissolve in the juice.

you use paper, measure it long enough to leave a two inch overhang on each end of the pan. Fold the

paper in from both sides to fit the bottom and up the ends. When the cake is baked and soaked with

lemon syrup, run a knife just along the side to loosen it from the pan, and then use the overhanging

ends to life the cake out and put it on a rack to cool.

Preheat oven to 325.

lemon sugar syrup over the cake until it has all soaked in. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.
