fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time. Mix in lemon
rind and 2 T rum. Sift baking powder and flour together. Gently mix into
the butter mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently fold

rum. Beat the butter in a small bowl until soft and light. Beat butter
into the egg mixture a little at a time. Continue beating until thick.

additional butter. PRALINE TOPPING: While butter-cream is cooking, spread
2 T butter thickly in a 9 X 13-inch baking pan for praline topping. Then
in a 1-quart saucepan, boil sugar an water to 238 degrees F. (soft ball
stage). Stir in almonds; cook until mixture reaches 310 degrees F. or
until syrup caramelizes. Pour syrup into prepared baking pan. When cool,
break up praline and grind it in a blender for few seconds. APRICOT

apricot glaze. CAKE ASSEMBLY: To assemble cake, place bottom layer of cake
on cake plate and spread with half of the butter cream. Repeat with
second layer. Place third layer on top. Spread top and sides of cake
with apricot glaze. Press praline powder onto glaze. Any remaining
butter cream can be used to decorate the top of the cake.

Lemon Grove Bundt Cake

Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill

Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup butter -- softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs,large
3 cups flour,all-purpose -- sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons lemon peel,grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice,fresh
lemon icing:
1/4 cup butter -- softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon peel,grated
1/4 cup lemon juice,fresh

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a very large bowl, cream butter (or
margarine) until very light; slowly add sugar until mixture is very light
and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. In another bowl, sift flour,
baking soda and salt together. Add flour mixture alternately with
buttermilk to butter mixture. Begin and end with flour. Mix in lemon peel
and juice. Pour batter into greased and floured 10-inch tube or 12-inch
bundt pan. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center
comes out clean. Place pan on rack for 10 minutes to cool. Turn cake out
of pan onto rack. Spread with as much lemon icing as the cake can absorb
(about a third of the icing) Allow cake to cool completely then frost with
remaining icing. ICING: Blend butter and sugar together in a medium bowl.
Mix in peel and juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is of
spreading consistency. If the entire amount of juice is used, the icing
will be thin and possibly difficult to spread evenly, however a very tangy
frosting greatly enhances the flavor of the cake. This cake was a second
place winner at the Del Mar fair. Jo Anne Merrill
