Lemon Sunshine (White Mountain) Cake

Bravetart

I asked my husband to pick a recipe from the Bravetart book for his birthday dessert this year, and this is the one he picked. The Lemon Sunshine cake is a modification of her White Mountain cake, and it is recommended to be served with her Cream Cheese Frosting.

White cake is my ideal "birthday cake", influenced by years of a friend's beautiful bakery cakes while mine were always somewhat lopsided homemade affairs. I was jealous, and my family was not known for being good bakers. This is a great one, and actually not THAT difficult in the grand scheme of things. You don't even have to whip the egg whites and fold them in!

We enjoyed this one, and I thought the recipe was easy to follow and produced the results expected...even if I didn't try to make it pretty like she suggests. I'm not buying a turn table and honestly, these days I'll take a lopsided, delicious, homemade cake over a most bakery cakes any day.
