LEMON BAVARIAN TORTE
This is a moist, refreshing cake that presents beautifully. The inspiration for it came from a friend who loves the flavor of lemon and from luvmybge's Chocolate Bavarian Torte (recipe #106926). I wanted to use 9 inch cake pans but wanted the split layers to be a bit thicker so I have to thank Laurie for her Cake Mix Extender (recipe #54269). I hope you enjoy this as much as my company did. My thanks to luvmybge and Laurie.

LEMON TORTE
This is a simple lemon torte that uses lots of fresh lemon juice in both the cake and the accompanying glaze. This cake is so simple that you really need to use fresh lemon juice, as opposed to bottled juice, to get the best result. The very moist cake has a mellow lemon flavor throughout and would be good, if a bit plain, on its own. A small amount of zesty, lemony glaze is poured over the cake while it is still warm and it is this finishing touch that makes the cake bright and memorable.
