So saving this one! Sounds incredibly delicious! Definitely deserves a 5!


Yummy, these look delicious. Love deserts made with lemon. I am savings as well, "5" from me because I know that they will be delicious. Thanks for sharing! ~~~Judy~~~


If you leave the lemon out of this, it is sometimes called a "St. Joseph Cake". Mounding them on a plate makes them a "cake", I suppose! My grandmother used to make these and I just couldn't get enough of them. We ate them as soon as they were cool enough to pick up without getting burned, julia. Enjoy, thanks ~ ~ ~
