I wanted to get into baking gear for the season but wanted to start with something semi-sweet. This cake was first for season and I love it. We both ate two slices each, even before I could click pictures for the recipe.

Start ingredient in today’s recipe is - Meyer lemons, these are lemon-orange combos which I can eat anytime of the day, their sweet and sour taste and sharp citrus perfume make them perfect for citrus sauces and baking. Olive oil made this cake extra moist and sweet and sour meyer lemons gave this cake sweet and lemony bite.

This is certainly a tea time cake; however, you can serve it as dessert with some fresh whipped sweet cream and berries. I recommend making two batches and then wrap individual slices in foil; easy to store and easy to carry on the go and perfect for a bake sale. Enjoy!!
