One more ...I've frozen it a pinch before, too.<br /><br />One more note on the recipe. On the original recipe thread lots of people made suggestions about experimenting with different variations of the cake. Orange or lime both sounded good to me. Then I got to thinking you could make the glaze with liquor or liqueur (vodka for a Lemon Drop or tequila for the lime) a la Rum Cake...lots of possibilities.<br /><br />Let me know if you try it and how you liked it!Leanne Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826373224871669476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494230197689826467.post-38658904762816641152011-02-09T21:30:12.103-06:002011-02-09T21:30:12.103-06:00Oh heck.

I don't know about skipping that glaze...it really makes is so nice.<br /><br />One thing I really liked about it was the fact that it makes a small cake. No 9x13 pan of cake staring at your for a week or spoiling before it gets eaten! Oh...my son, Ben, just loved it, too!!

This is unbelievably timely. I was thinking...Wow. This is unbelievably timely. I was thinking of trying to make a lemon cake. This sounds delicious. To reduce the calories somewhat, do you think you could replace the butter with applesauce without changing the dynamic too much?<br /><br />I'm going to try it. I think you are right about the glaze. I'd stick with the real sugar. However, you might be able to just skip the glaze. All in all, though, I don't think that under 250 calories for a rich cake is all that bad! I think I can fit that into my diet.Daktarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291715601733518982noreply@blogger.com
