Here's where I got the recipe from. Don't forget to check out all of her recipes, they're simply amazing. I have to say that I read a lot of food blogs and recipe posts and stuff like that and her blog is a good one. A really good one. Her pictures make me want to bake and eat everything right away.
As always, I changed the recipe a bit. Besides, I translated the recipe into English since I speak French and want you to be able to read my posts. Oh and one more thing: try it! I'm serious, try this recipe, it's the best lemon cake I've ever had, the flavor is amazing and the texture is extremely fine and fluffy. Just try it.
