Featherlight Cake Recipe

	Jo_jo_ba / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago Another good ol' classic, this one is a light lemon tube cake from my paternal grandma (who never baked as long as I could remember). All I've changed is the wording to make it a bit easier to understand. I've yet to try this out at home, if you do, please share your results! ... More Prep:40m Cook:30m Servings:12	Jo_jo_ba

I've never seen this method with the boiling water. I'm going to give it a try.

Oh yeah, I remember my grandmother and her hand mixer - it was the only way she ever whipped her cream...I'd hate to try it today (those were some strong women!). I'm sure your grandmother's recipe would produce a wonderful, light, delicious cake - I love those "old" recipes and methods, so I will have to give this one a try. Thanks!

Wonderful passed down recipe Jo_Jo! Thanks so much for submitting it for all of us to try. I'm pretty sure my Mother made a cake very similar to this. I'll let you know how it turns out.
