Moist Lemon Cake Recipe

Moist Lemon Cake Recipe

This moist lemon cake recipe is so delicious! I found this lemon ice pick cake recipe in my little recipe box from our wedding that I’ve had fun sorting through. Although I didn’t have an ice pick, I did have a chopstick to make this lemon jello cake recipe. It’s so easy!

Are you thinking spring? I don’t know why, but lemons remind me of clean and clean reminds me of spring cleaning and spring cleaning reminds me of needing dessert. Because, well you need dessert after spring cleaning. Am I right?

But let’s just focus on the cake for now.

The original recipe called for an ice pick. Since I didn’t have one of those around, I decided to use a chopstick. It’s probably a little thicker than I would want – but it was free. You could also use a fork. You’ll want to poke the chopstick into the cake quite a few times. You’re creating holes for the glaze.

Pour the glaze very slowly over the cake, making sure to allow the glaze to soak into the holes. Yum!
