The Best Lemon Cheesecake. Ever.

So on Monday, I professed my love for my chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting which I said was (and I quote), the best, the chocolatiest chocolate cake ever. It was so good it made me kind of, uhm, doubt my loyalties to Team Lemon.

It is an outstanding chocolate cake. It really is. But after much thought, I’ve decided that I still prefer lemon desserts over chocolate ones.


And to prove my lemon devotion, I present to you the best lemon cheesecake ever.

Lemon desserts rule
Lemon desserts are delightful. They are light and fresh and just a dose of sunshine after a heavy meal or on a gloomy day (preferably with tea).

Ok, biased person talking. But have you checked these out?
