This cake is so lemony fresh you might just want kiss your plate!

About a year after I was married, my husband and I were able to purchase our first home. I was super excited about our little yellow house with the white trim but a bit nervous about meeting the neighbors on our cul-de-sac.

I could tell there were young families in the area because I say hop-scotch games down on the sidewalk with chalk, and bikes of various sizes.

The day after we unloaded the moving truck my husband had to go to work. I was left to take care of unloading and deciding where to put things. I knew it was going to be a long couple of weeks.

A few hours later I heard the doorbell.

There, standing on my front step was a young girl with her mom. She was holding a plate and on it sat a beautiful bundt cake.

“These lemons came from our yard!” the girl said.

And that how I met one of my very first neighbors.

I invited them in and we enjoyed getting to know eash other over a lemony bundt cake. I think of them every time I make this.

This is what Jessica of Sprinkle Some Sugar has to say about his luscious cake.

It is sort of dense – think: pound cake – but it is so ridiculously soft, moist and packed with lemony flavor. The lemon glaze on top really brings this dessert over the top and really packs a big punch of lemony flavor.

Quick tip: If you see someone new move into your neighborhood, make them a cake to welcome them. It might be the perfect icebreaker they need to feel welcomed.

This Banana Cake definitely has it’s A-PEEL :~D

I love the smell of banana bread being baked. In fact I usually bake up several batches at once since it take a while to bake and really, who wants to heat up the oven for just one loaf?

Whenever it was a cool morning, instead of turning on the stove, I would often just bake something instead. I guess you could say our home was literally warmed by fresh cookies and breads!

The taste of banana is such a classic for our family. We buy a lot of bananas. I know they get eaten quickly at a meal or even dipped in peanut butter for a quick snack.

My problem is that I rarely have bananas around long enough to get speckled so when we do I either bake something right away, or peel them and put into the freezer for smoothies of breads.

What about you? Did you grow up eating bananas? If so this will be a nostalgic taste of childhood.

This is what Jaclyn of Cooking Classy has to say about this amazing recipe.

When I see that I have overripe bananas I can’t help but get excited because it always gives me an excuse to make some kind of banana bread or dessert.

Quick Tip: You can also make these into cupcakes for easy serving. Not having to have a fork or plate? How simple is that!

Because company deserves out very best..this cake says it all.

I always knew when my Uncle Greg was coming to visit because mom would bake his favorite dessert.

What is is about special childhood memories and recipes that take us back to those tender moments of time?

That is how I feel about this recipe! Only my mom made the cake from a boxed mix and this one is from scratch.

It was always easy to tell when my parents really close friends from college were coming for a visit. The chocolate frosted cake was carefully set on a cake stand and we couldn’t wait until the first pieces were cut.

Moist yellow cake surrounded by a heavenly taste of creamy chocolate was a dream come true.

And the best part was there was always enough left over frosting to put between graham crackers as a special treat for lunch.

I can’t eat yellow cake with chocolate frosting without thinking of Uncle Greg. He loved to play John Denver songs and hugged everyone who came into his live. And he always acted like the yellow cake was the best one he had ever eaten.

So whether you are having company over, celebrating a milestone, or just want to indulge in a few of lifes simple pleasure. Bake.

Life it too short to not eat a good cake every once in a while and maybe..just maybe you can lick the beaters!

This is what Liz of That Skinny Chic Can Bake has to say about her recipe.

Whenever I make a yellow cake, it must be paired with a rich, chocolate buttercream frosting! Chocolate rules for the majority of the family and, to tell the truth, this is a magical pairing. So if you have a birthday celebration on the horizon, I recommend this terrific combination, the perfect yellow cake recipe with a fudgy frosting!

Quick Tip: This is the part where I tell you something insightful about the recipe, but I am going to go out on a limb here. Way Out. When you cut into this amazingly wonderful cake, cut a piece for you and quickly wrap it up and hide it. Somewhere in the back of the cupboard will do. Because when all the company is gone and the balloons and steamers cleaned up you might want to sit down with a glass or wine, or a cup of tea and enjoy a little peace and serenity. And that, my friend, is when you will really savor this piece of yummy cake.
