Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another mixing bowl, mix together oil, lemon juice, eggs, sour cream, and lemon zest until completely mixed.
  3. Fold in dry ingredients, mixing only until combined. Lightly spray a 18 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Pour cake batter into pan and spread evenly. 
  4. Bake for 17-20 minutes. To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Let cool for 15 minutes before frosting.

To make Lemon Cream Frosting:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese for 4 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides of the bowl halfway through mixing. Stir in powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Once cake is cooled, frost with lemon cream cheese frosting.
