Delicious Lemon Cake

This cake is easy and delicious, extra tender and the crumb is moist.  You'll love this recipe for "home made" tasting cake.

Take a boxed cake mix, I used lemon for this recipe - always Duncan Hines (Grammy Ann says it's the best!)  And then just adjust the add-ins.  This box called for water - I used milk.  I used butter instead of oil and added about 2 Tbsp. of mayo.  Lastly I added a teaspoon of vanilla.

Water --> Milk

Oil --> Butter

+ 2 Tbsp. Mayo

+ 1 tsp. Vanilla (and 1 tsp Lemon Extract in this recipe)

Adjust vanilla as desired.  You can use these substitutes in any flavor cake.  A little peppermint extract in a chocolate cake would be nice.  Have fun and experiment!

I added the mayo as a nod to Aunt Deanie's Chocolate Mayo Cake recipe.
