GREAT-GRANDMA'S LEMON CAKE
"Baking and giving" is a hobby of mine, and I love to bake my gifts by using old-fashioned recipes like this one, which was my great-grandmother's. There aren't too many shortcuts in these directions, but I enjoy aspect of "measuring and mixing"! This is one of my favorites, copied down from my mother's old cookbook.

SYBIL'S OLD FASHIONED LEMON LAYER CAKE
This is one of my grandmother's recipes, a Southern classic. It is similar to a doberge--six thin layers with a tart lemon filling. I usually need 3 large fresh lemons for this recipe to produce the zest and juice.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 9-inch cake pans. In a bowl, whisk together 3 1/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons softened butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, then mix in 2 1/4 cups of sugar until thoroughly blended and fluffy. Beat 6 egg yolks into the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each yolk is added. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture in thirds, alternating with milk. Mix in 3/4 teaspoon of grated lemon peel and 1 3/4 teaspoon of lemon juice.
- With clean beaters, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks in a bowl; lightly fold the egg whites into the batter; use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the batter. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites, folding just until incorporated.. Pour the batter into the 3 prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes; then turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
- To make filling, whisk 2 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons of grated lemon peel, 1/2 cup of lemon juice, 5 1/2 tablespoons of flour, and beaten egg together in a saucepan. Cook the mixture over low heat, whisking constantly, until the filling almost comes to a boil; cook until thickened and smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Allow the filling to cool.
- To assemble, place each cake layer down on a work surface, and place one hand lightly on the top of the cake. Use a serrated knife to slice the cake in half horizontally, with a light sawing motion, to create 2 layers from each cake (6 total layers). Brush crumbs from the layers. Place a cake layer onto a serving dish, and spread with 1/6 of the filling; repeat with all the layers and filling, ending with a layer of lemon filling for the top of the cake.

OLD-FASHIONED DOUBLE-LEMON CAKE
Steps:
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt onto piece of wax paper. Set aside. Combine lemon zest and granulated sugar in blender or food processor. Grind until lemon zest is almost as fine as sugar. Cream butter and lemon sugar in mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until smooth and flowing. Add lemon extract. Mix to combine (curdled appearance is fine). Add sifted dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Transfer to greased 8½-inch springform pan. Smooth surface with spatula. Bake at 325 degrees on center rack of oven until lightly colored and wood pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar and lemon juice. Place hot cake in pan on cooling rack and brush surface with glaze immediately. Let glaze run down sides of cake. Gently rotate pan to distribute drippings evenly. After all glaze is applied and seems absorbed, carefully remove springform rim. As soon as cake seems cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes, transfer to platter with long spatula. (Aluminum cake pans can affect lemon flavor.) Let cake cool completely. Spread Lemon Frosting on cooled cake. Serve with Lemon sherbert and Lemon-Zested Strawberries. Makes 1 (8½-inch diameter) cake, or 8 servings. LEMON FROSTING: Combine powdered sugar, butter, salt, lemon zest and juice. Add few drops water for smooth consistency, if necessary. LEMON-ZESTED STRAWBERRIES: Combine lemon zest, sugar, strawberries and rim in plastic food bag. Secure bag. Shake bag gently to coat strawberries. Refrigerate 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
