This recipe is perfect for spring! If you have sourdough discard, this recipe is so easy and nice to make. It is technically a bread, but my 3 year old says it's a cake so that's a win. I made this recipe for someone who doesn't like sourdough and they told me this is the first recipe they liked because it didn't taste sour. The sugar cuts the sourness. The key is to use a fresh lemon to get a very natural lemon flavor.
