    HCB#5: Lemony Vanilla LOVE

    Yum and Yum!
    I’m still tryna will summer as you can see… lol
    Can’t go wrong with lemon and vanilla!



    Lemon in everything!!





    add some lemon zest to the sugar





    sooo pretty…


    However you want it…



    lil sugar on top…



    or you could have it naked…
    I used a basic sponge recipe, with some of my little tricks for added moisture, and a huge dose of L-O-V-E. 
    Add some zest, vanilla extract or vanilla bean, and you’ve got magic baby! The vanilla softens the acidity of the lemon, but definitely doesn’t mask it! Top it off with some icing, a lil lemon sugar or just keep it in it’s birthday suit; it’s tasty all the same
