Lemon-Cake Sqs. (Was Orange-Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Rosemary)
Lemon-Cake Squares
6 tbsp. butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 egg
1-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
grated rind of 1 lemon
1/2 cup milk
Beat eggs in large bowl for electric mixer, beat in butter and sugar.
Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix thoroughly. Add milk and lemon
rind; beat until thoroughly mixed. Pour batter into greased 13 x 9"
baking pan. Bake at 350º for 22 to 25 minutes (my oven bakes a little
hot, so I bake it for the lesser time). In the meantime, stir together
in small bowl, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and juice of 1 lemon. Remove
cake from oven and carefully spoon mixture over top of cake; return to
oven and continue baking for 5 minutes. Cut into small squares while
still warm.
