Kris Jenner’s lemon cake
We need to present up with a cake or one thing festive. However in actuality who has time to bake 3 truffles? I positive don’t.
Effectively I simply solved this drawback for you. Eer, properly truly Kris Jenner did.
Let me clarify. A couple of years in the past I used to be watching Conserving Up With the Kardashians. You already know the one the place Kris & Khloe have a bake-off? Missed that one? Oh, properly it was a superb one.
Anyway, they’ve this entire bake-off & Kris makes her well-known cake. A cake she’s been making for 20 years. Truly she even is alleged to have made it for Lamar Odom weekly when he was married to Khloe, #TBT. AND IT’S A LEMON CAKE!
In fact you understand how I really like lemon so my ears perked up from my laptop computer. Khloe offers her a lot shit as a result of this well-known cake she bakes is out of a field. Effectively two containers, actually- however we’ll get to that.
Pay attention, I’m a busy bitch so one thing like that is proper up my alley. I like Kris’ type. She does all of it & bakes an insane, scrumptious, well-known lemon cake? I would like IN.

Not boring truffles both…TASTY, buttery tender lemon truffles! You already know my relationship with lemon!! In truth, that is the right yearly custom for me!
Who offers a shit if it’s out of the field?
Okay, Khloe does. However I positive don’t! I’m extra of a Kris than a Khloe anyway. You?
Shifting proper alongside.
This can be a complete GET SHIT DONE CAKE. The “recipe” is very easy & nobody will know.
Anyway, you don’t have all day so let’s get to the best recipe on the planet?
