Meyer Lemon Cake

This cake is a simple lemon cake inspired by Dom's Mums Lemon cake I just used Meyer lemons. I love these lemons and only really got hooked on them since moving to America. Its not just me who loves these lemons but Ozoz from Kitchen butterfly made a wonderful bunch of recipes with them I especially love this one Chunky Meyer Lemon Caramel Sauce  and she also wrote a wonderful post dedicated to them, did you know they are named after Frank Meyer, an employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture who brought the fruit to the United States in the early 1900s, after discovering them in China.
