Lemon Butter Cake as requested by Guests from The Brenham House
Lemon Butter Cake
as served at The Brenham House Bed and Breakfast
This recipe is very easy. I got it out of an old cookbook from my collection and I have seen it recently from a Paula Deen cookbook. Some of the best recipes have been around for quite sometime!
Lemon cake mix
1 egg
1 stick of butter, melted
Mix together and it makes a cookie dough. Press down in a 9x13 baking dish.
1- 8 oz. softened package of cream cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. lemon juice
one lemon zest
1 tsp. lemon extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1 stick of butter, melted
Mix together until creamy and pour on top of your dough.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 40-50 minutes ( I bake for 50 minutes)
Let cool and cut to serve. I top with fresh fruit or a little fresh cream.
Hope you enjoy and remember us at The Brenham House Bed and Breakfast!

Glorious Morning Suite at The Brenham House
Oh, what a Glorious Morning!
This is one of our five rooms.
It is a large two room suite with a private bath.
The floors are all heart of pine. The china cabinet was built in the fireplace once gas was installed in the home. Back then it was cleaner to have gas heat and not have fireplaces and they wanted to get rid of their fireplaces. The relaxing library has books for you to read, with desk, antique chair and very comfortable couch.
