I could not think of anything else for L other than Lemon and it had to be Lemon Sponge Cake. Our neighbors have a lime tree and most of the tree has come over our side of the fence. My kitchen window and door leads on to this and when I am chatting with Amma or pass that way, I make sure I look at the tree and check out how the limes are turning out.

This is the first year we actually saw it cropping it. And my neighbour promptly comes with a stick to get the yield. Those fresh limes look so big and good. So of the days last week as I was passing by one big was nearly reaching out and I couldn't stop myself from plucking it. The fragrance was so tantalizing and inducing. I was planning on making fresh juice from it, then suddenly this cake came to mind and I had to use it.

I mistakenly added more sugar and the heavy lemon essence with the sweet was a deadly combination.

I am surely planning to bake this again with less sugar.
