Personal Notes:
Grandma (Emma) Woods said on her recipe card...Happy Eating!
Fresh lemons are the best for this cake - Grandma Woods had a big lemon tree behind her house that made this cake extra special.
I have no idea what the "Surprise" part was but it was on her recipe card.
Grandma June made this same recipe all the time too.
