The lady next door, when I was little, was like a mother to me. Her name was Parthenia. After I was married she still stayed close. Had my husband and I over many times for dinner. This was one of her recipes and one of our favorites. Thanks Par!

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350. Place dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
In seperate bowl, add eggs and oil. Mix till creamy. Add orange juice, vanilla, lemon extract and dry ingredients. Beat till well blended.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13 pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove cake from oven and let stand in pan 15 minutes or until just about cooled.
