I'd assume a lime, but I could be wrong

Hey, I lived in NC for a while myself, in Greensboro. It is good to be home though!

I go home once in a while...

I think it would be easier to accept the changes had I been there to adapt with it...

Oh, sorry. I forgot you guys call a "green lemon" a lime.

Did you know that Brazilian oranges are actually green??!! They are nicely sweet and juicy!!

Those oranges sound yummy!

Yeah I know the feeling. When I was going back and forth from NC to GA it always amazed me how quick things were changing. Now that I'm back, it doesn't seem to be changing so fast, but I'm also in the middle now.

oilili, I imagine, this recipe would be good using any type of citrus for the lemon...I did add a bit extra lemon zest as well as a smidge of orange. I am looking for zing...wow...pucker power...mmm mmm mmm MMMMMMMMMMM...something to make my eyes cross ...but not really....something really lemony.

I was disappointed by the lack of color. I should've added some yellow to the batter...that may have added to the experience.

Is it really lemony? Does it bake up nice and evenly?

The ginger is a very nice addition to this cake, and it is not overly lemony. The part I hate about mixes are the artificial flavor they have, and this one has a wonderful aroma, and baked up beautifully. I filled 3) 6" square pans and they baked right to the top, very even, no hump... I froze two of them and we ate one. I plan to fill them with a lemon curd mousse and vanilla buttercream for a cake next weekend.
I do plan to bake the recipe you sent this week sometime and will report my finding on it......

Quick word to say a BIG thank you to Lasombra.

I made my moist chocolate cake once again this weekend and it turned out better than never, thanks to your instructions!!! thumbs_up.gif

I beat my sugar + butter for a long long time, then beat well again after adding each egg. I beat my batter a lot less than in the past and, as usual, added whipped egg whites in the end, mixing slowly with a wooden spoon.

THANK YOU, it was a huge success!!! icon_biggrin.gif

I wanted to add that I just started baking from scratch (I used to doctor DH cakes with the extender recipe) and could totally taste a difference! I surprised myself, because I really didn't think I would be able to tell the difference, that I would just be using "baked from scratch" for marketing purposes....but it was soooo good! No more boxes for me! So far I just have a chocolate and butter yellow, but that's a good start. icon_smile.gif
