Luscious Lemon Cake

Of all our single-serve cakes, this might be my favorite. It's so fluffy and buttery, with a crumb resembling that of a boxed cake. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Super Sweet Blend works well in this cake, offsetting the lemon's tartness. If you prefer Gentle Sweet, double the amount. I prefer the microwave version.
