Lemons are in season! Summer seems to bring the best lemons to every corner of the United States. My 9-year-old grandson, unlike other kids his age, loves anything lemon. He, like his grandmother, is not a huge chocolate fan and prefers sweet and tart flavors.
We were celebrating his birthday and he requested a lemon cake. The recipe is entirely vegan and makes a super moist and delicious dessert. Since the frosting contains cream cheese (I used Trader Joe’s brand), I recommend storing it in the refrigerator under a covered cake stand. However if refrigerator space is at a minimum and you don’t have a cake stand, opt for putting the leftover cake in a deep bowl and covering it with wrap.
ENJOY!
