Both of these are quite good. The first uses zest and extract; the
second, zest and juice. The sour cream helps with the tartness too.

Thanks, I saved both. Lemon is my favorite kind of cake, but only
if it has that fresh lemon flavor. A friend used to make the best I
have ever had--and I think she used lemon jello in the cake and
fresh lemon juice in the frosting. She died before I could get the
recipe.
