I love cooking and baking with lemons. Their flavor is just so darn fresh and yummy! I first tried this lemon cake at a baby shower years ago and made sure I got the recipe. It is amazing! The frosting is absolutely to die for. No kidding. I could eat it by the spoonful right out of the bowl. But I try not to.
If you like lemon desserts, you have got to give this a try!! Do not leave out the lemon zest, that is what gives it the wonderful lemony flavor!

Sunkist has started a campaign called Sunkist S’alternative. They are spreading the word about using fresh squeezed lemons in place of salt as a natural way to flavor food, cut down on sodium, and boost potassium intake. I love the flavor of lemons, so I am all over this idea!
Do you ever wonder about your sodium intake? How much you should have, how much you actually consume? I took the Sunkist Sodium Quiz and found out that I am a Mover, Not a Salt Shaker.
That doesn't mean I don't need to watch my sodium intake though. I love salty foods just as much as the next guy! If you want to be more aware of your salt intake, head over and take the simple quiz. And check out more yummy recipes using Sunkist lemons as a way to cut down sodium intake.
