sometimes good food makes me want to cry.

in the last few weeks, i have made this cake four different times. the lemon/raspberry/buttermilk combination makes me want to cry tears of happiness each time i eat it.

one time i accidentally added 1/2 cup of butter rather than 1/2 a stick of butter (confusing, right?), but believe me when i say this had no adverse effect on the cake. also, each time i make it, i wish i had added even more lemon zest. i have yet to reach the lemon zest saturation point.

and might i just say, i have become quite adept at zesting a lemon sans zester. how on earth do we not have a lemon zester? it's a tragedy...

ps. blog layout is still being tweaked. anyone know how to just increase the width of the header without increasing the post text width?  success!

  1. I remember when Ms. Smitten Kitchen posted that cake, and I made a mental note to make it, and of course promptly forgot about it. That will not happen again- it looks delicious! Don't you love becoming completely obsessed with a particular recipe?
