Lemon Cake

This lemon cake recipe comes from my aunt who used to make it for me when I would come over during the holidays. It yields a really moist cake with a strong lemon flavor and doesn't take that long to put together since it's not technically from scratch. Some of the ingredients seem unconventional but they are actually super helpful for putting together a moist and flavorful cake in a short amount of time.
