This lemon cake lives up to it's reputation, sour and sweet. The "secret ingredient" is a must for true lip puckering sour-ness. Bake this for the lemon lovers in your life.

Ingredients

3/4 c flour
1/2 c sugar
1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 c sour cream
1 stick butter – melted
1 c “real Lemon” lemon juice
3/4 c “Sour Lemonade” snow cone syrup
2 tablespoons lemon extract

Instructions

Sift together flour, sugar and cake mix, set aside.
Combine sour cream, butter, juice, syrup and extract.
Slowly incorporate dry ingredients into wet.
May need to scrape down sides of the bowl once.
Pour into greased/floured cake pans. I used a 9×13 at 350 degrees for 30 mins.
Ice with any icing – I used my regular butter cream icing with 1/4 c of the snow cone syrup added. Great with lemon curd or raspberry filling.

I love VERY tart lemon flavor and I had a customer request a VERY tart lemon cake. It uses snowcone syrup that can be bought almost anywhere – I found it at Wal-mart. This cake is great with plain butter cream icing and even better with lemon curd filling and lemon butter cream icing.

ENJOY! Pucker up!
