Y’all know I love my sheet cakes! They are so quick and easy to throw together, they feed a crowd, and everyone always loves them! This cake is no exception. It is incredibly moist, bursting with vibrant lemon flavor. And he icing. Oh the icing!! It is a cooked lemon cream cheese icing that you are going to flip over!
Today is Mother’s Day and I want to take a minute to to wish my own mom a wonderful, happy day – love you, mom!!! And to all of you who are mamas too, I hope your day is blessed. I thought today would be the perfect day to share some exciting news with all of you…
I’M PREGNANT!!!! I’m 15 weeks along and already so in love with this little bundle of joy. Nevermind he/she has kept me incredibly sick these last few months – worth it!!! Baby #5 is coming this fall and we are so excited. It’s super cute to see my little ones so curious and eager to meet this little baby. Just precious 🙂
Oh yeah, back to the cake! This is the perfect summer cake with it’s bright citrus flavor. It would be a hit at any picnic, potluck, or party. Oh! And try it cold! So refreshing and delish. I am sharing this with my mama today and I hope she loves it as much as we do!

Wow….excellent lemon cake. Easy & quick too. I am so glad I chose this one. I’m kinda glad this one won’t last long, because I sure want to try these other sheet cakes. Thank you for posting the delicious cake.

Lemon cake sounds good trying to find the recipe!

Why the cornstarch? Could I just use less liquid if I don’t have any?
Stephanie Brubaker says
It helps give the cake a lighter, fluffier texture. You can do without, but the texture won’t be the same.
