Wonderful!

Have been making this recipe for decades, but never as a cake.... it is absolutely brilliant as cupcakes, just cook for less time, same length of time as other cupcakes (about 20 minutes) and test with cake testing skewing to make sure done.
Topped with a lemon juice icing it's divine .
