Lemon cake is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! I have it for my birthday every year in August, when fresh lemons are at their peak...so GOOD CHOICE, in my opinion!! :) Being my favorite, and after trying ALL the recipes...I have found this one to be the easiest and most delicious of all. The recipe is from Epicurious Magazine dated 1945. They have put together as a layer cake, but I have also done this as a sheet cake and in a bundt cake pan...works out great no matter what pan you put it in. Also, I personally think the whipped cream and confectioner sugar frosting is a little sweet. Instead, I whip together lemon curd and one large container of sour cream. Garnished with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs, this cake is gorgeous to look at, as well!! DELICIOUS!! Hope this helps!!
For cake layers
2 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising; sift before measuring)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
For frosting
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Lemon curd, chilled
Garnish: fresh raspberries and mint sprigs
Make cake layers: Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 2 (8- by 2-inch) round cake pans and line bottoms of each with rounds of wax or parchment paper. Butter paper and dust pans with flour, knocking out excess. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir together milk and lemon juice (mixture will curdle).
Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately add flour mixture and milk mixture in batches, beginning and ending with flour, mixing at low speed until just combined.
Divide batter between pans, smoothing tops. Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in pans on racks 10 minutes, then invert onto racks, remove paper, and cool completely.
Make frosting: Beat cream and confectioners sugar with cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks. Fold one third of whipped cream into lemon curd to lighten, then fold in remaining whipped cream.
Assemble cake: Put 1 cake layer, rounded side up, on a cake plate and spread with one fourth of frosting. Top with second layer, rounded side up, and spread top and sides with remaining frosting.
• This batter can be baked in 16 (1/2-cup) muffin cups about 15 minutes; or in a 13- by 9-inch baking pan about 25 minutes. Halve cake crosswise to form 2 (9- by 6 1/2-inch) rectangles and layer in same manner as above.
Makes 1 (8-inch) layer cake

An easy way is to use a standard white (chiffon) boxed cake mix and substitute 1 cup of lemon juice for 1 cup of water, and the entire egg rather than just the whites.

Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, in the middle of the oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the lemon curd is bubbly and the cookies are lightly browned at the edges. Reverse the sheet from front to back halfway through baking to ensure even browning. When cookies are done, transfer cookie sheet to a wire rack and let stand until the cookies firm up slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to wire racks. Let stand until completely cooled.
