How to Make Lemon Tea Cake

Step-by-Step

In a bowl, beat with a mixer to blend butter, sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla.
Stir in flour and pecans until four is evenly moistened.
Pour batter into an oiled and flour-dusted 8" square pan.
Bake in a 350 oven until cake is lightly browned and springs back when pressed in center, about 45 minutes.
Run a knife between cake and pan rim; hold a rack onto pan top.
Invert to release cake, then tip back into pan.
Pierce cake top all over with a fork and pour hot lemon sauce over surface.
Serve hot or warm; cut from pan or serve from a platter.
LEMON SAUCE: In a 1 1/2 quart pan over high heat, stir lemon peel, lemon juice and sugar just until sugar is dissolved.
Use hot.
