One is Silver and the Other's Gold - Lemon Cake

"Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other's gold!" - so goes the song we used to sing in Girl Scouts...

Today I baked a traditional lemon cake with a new friend that I met this very day, and together we used a recipe that is old as time and was passed down to me by a very dear friend. So here's to old friends, and to new ones!!! cheers!
