So I always thought this was an old fashion German Lemon cake but it ends up being called a 1-2-3-4 Lemon cake based on how it is prepared. It isn’t the easiest cakes to make however if you enjoy lemons then this is a must.  The recipe is from the Martha Stewart cook books but you can find the recipe on her site here.
