Easter Lemon Cake with Sprinkles

Easter Lemon Cake with Sprinkles
This bright lemon cake is a festive staple on my Easter table, packed with colorful sprinkles and a tender, moist crumb that keeps well for days. Simple to make yet full of cheerful flavor, it’s a favorite with kids and adults alike—vanilla-scented, gently zesty, and finished with a shiny white chocolate glaze. Easy enough for a weekend breakfast, elegant enough for holiday guests, it never lasts long on the plate.
