If desired, stir in a few drops of yellow food coloring. Spread batter into prepared pan.

2 stars, easy to make, but not my cup of tea flavor-wise---I just have a lot of others I like better. Guests really liked it. Recipe for Lemon Butter Frosting is below the body of directions for making the cake, and that's easy to make, too.

There is no recipe for the lemon butter frosting...cake recipe is printed twice. It's that way for every recipe that has two recipes on this series. Why????

The ingredients for the lemon butter frosting is exactly the same as that of the cake ingredients. Who would publish this HUGE mistake without checking for accuracy?
