Lemon Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

By srumbel

Who doesn't love lemon desserts! This lemon sheet cake is easy, feeds a crowd, has a rich lemon flavor and a fabulous cream cheese frosting. I like to slice any leftover cake into serving-size pieces and freeze in an air-tight container, between layers of waxed paper. It thaws quickly and (I think) it tastes better cold.
