Lemon Sheath Cake
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 12 cup butter
- 12 cup lemon juice
- 12 cup water
- 12 cup vegetable oil
- 12 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 teaspoon lemon flavoring
- 12 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
- 12 cup butter
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 1 lb confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
- In a large bowl, mix sugar and flour.
- In a medium saucepan, bring butter, water, lemon juice and oil to a boil.
- Pour the boiling mixture over the dry mixture and stir slowly.
- Add buttermilk, eggs, soda and lemon flavoring and lemon rind and mix well.
- Bake in a well greased and floured jelly roll pan with deep sides (or you can bake in a 13 X 9 X 2 pan if you don't have a jellyroll pan, but the jellyroll pan works better in my opinion)for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
- (If you use the 13 X 9 pan, you will have to bake the cake longer).
- WHILE THE CAKE IS FINISHING THE LAST FEW MINUTES OF BAKING, MAKE YOUR ICING AS THE CAKE IS TO BE ICED WHILE HOT.
- ICING:.
- Bring butter and milk to a boil.
- Add the sugar and mix well with mixer.
- Add lemon flavoring.
- ICE CAKE WHILE IT IS HOT.
