Lemon Cake
柠檬蛋糕


Today is Labour Day, a public holiday in Singapore.  May all the workers here, the blue or white collar, young or old, local or foreigners, happy at work and receive fair treatment.

To celebrate, I baked this rich moist Lemon Cake for my family. My daughters like it so much that they would like to reserve two pieces as their breakfast tomorrow.

It's an easy-to-make cake, just like the Walnut Cake, simple and yummy. With lemon zest and lemony glaze, this cake is sweet and buttery with fresh citrus taste.

I got the recipe from a blog. However, I did not save the link. If you happen to see this recipe from the web, please let me know so that I can link back to the original recipe. I followed exactly the original recipe except for the glaze, which I made slight modification.
