My hubby complaint last night that I hardly bake for him anymore. Actually is not that I don't want to bake but is just that the weather is so hot nowadays and I don't want to crank up the oven. Temperature today is like 96 degree. So here is your favorite lemon cake sweetie :-)

2 lemon zest
1/4 of lemon juice
