Matt heard from our friend\/his bandmate Chris that they were making a cake the other night to accompany a cookout. Matt requested I make a cake here. What kind? I asked. He thought lemon with chocolate frosting would be lovely. I thought it would be weird. I was wrong. He thought I’d whip up a cake mix out of the box. I spent 2 1\/2 hours making it from scratch. He was wrong. But it’s okay, because now we have a yummy delicious cake that I gently adapted from Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa).<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

That Ina fascinates me. I’ve only seen 5 minutes of her TV show here and there, at the dentist office or while dozing at home. But she’s so fun! I think it’s because all of her food looks really tasty and her “no fuss, no stress” attitude makes the dishes look createable<\/i> in our own kitchens at home. So I tried making her lemon cake. This one’s delicious and unique because you basically pour a lemon simple syrup over the lemon cake, making it very moist for days and adding a lemon punch in every bite. If you like lemon, use the 6 lemons she calls for. I do love the lemon, but I think I’ll scale it back to 4 next time to lessen the tang. Here goes.<\/div>\n
