It said 3/4 C. lemon juice. 1/4 for the cake and 31/2 tablespoons for the icing. I thought it was a type O and put the rest in the cake. Wrong thing to do. Then it never said what to do with the I/2 cup of sugar. So glad I kept looking for this site. Now maybe I can make the cake that everyone seams to love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-76077525985218076482008-02-08T22:27:00.000-05:002008-02-08T22:27:00.000-05:00I was making this in a semi-hurried fashion and pu...I was making this in a semi-hurried fashion and put all the lemon juice into the batter instead of reserving some for the glaze! Oh, was short on lemons so i made up for it with some grapefruit. The cake still came out delicious...very sweet, sour and yummy. No glaze here, but the cake with icing was good enough for us! Oh, and i only had one loaf pan so i baked the rest of the batter into mini cupcake molds witch were super cute and addicting! Great recipe, despite my mistakes :)U+Me=Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465065875902803208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-44904638850610677132008-01-12T14:59:00.000-05:002008-01-12T14:59:00.000-05:00thank guys and thanks for the new visits hogger, m...thank guys and thanks for the new visits hogger, miss scarlett, kevin, katia, cedar, nemmie, jep (and Linda? sorry if I left anyone out or mistook you for a first time vistor). Miss Scarlett - the BFC is so often over the top I don't blame your instinct to cut down on the sugar but there's so much lemon in there, in this case, I think it needs it. But I do think it could do without the icing if you want to cut back. Hogger: she's really great, I agree. Thanks very much.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328549946090033100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-54986330002712302212008-01-11T22:33:00.000-05:002008-01-11T22:33:00.000-05:00i'm a food blog rookie and i'm so thrilled to see ...i'm a food blog rookie and i'm so thrilled to see all the barefoot contessa fans out there! all of her recipes are fantastic, including this one, which you have so beautifully photographed. there's nothing i don't love about the b.c. keep the gorgeous pics coming!hoggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778352311447920992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-87606135578498867662008-01-08T02:09:00.000-05:002008-01-08T02:09:00.000-05:00Now that is sunshine for sure!

It's almost exactly the same as this, but uses yogurt instead of buttermilk. I made the mistake of reducing the sugar in my cake - something I always do and it rarely affects the taste negatively. However, I think this cake needed the extra sweetness. Yours looks beautiful! And that icing - YUM!
