Although some flavors have a distinct season, I love that lemon is a popular choice all year round. And there's something about a bowlful of lemons or a display mounded with the glistening yellow orbs that always makes me smile. Maybe it's the bright, cheery color or perhaps the fresh vibrant aroma just under the surface, waiting to be released by a knife or zester.
I love cooking with lemons and cake might just be the very best way to let their magic shine. Here are four of our favorites!

Thought for the day:
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth.
You have set your glory in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infant
You have established a stronghold against Your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which You have set in place,
what is mankind that You are mindful of them,
human beings that You care for them?
Psalm 8:1-4
