A hint of lemon adds a touch of brightness to the cake, and almond and vanilla extract pull it all together. You simply can't go wrong with a recipe like this one that's been passed down from a German grandmother.

I almost clicked away when I saw there was lemon in this recipe, but I am so glad didn't. It is hardly noticeable in the cake, yet adds a touch of bright fresh flavor that helps to cut through the richness of all that butter. It is great to dunk in your coffee, or a glass of milk for the kids. It is a thing to have on hand in your freezer for impromptu desserts like strawberry shortcake with whipped cream, or even in a chocolate trifle.
