What is Tarragon

Tarragon is a great herb that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It has an earthy, peppery flavor and is commonly used in French cooking.

Variations:

If you want a stronger lemon tang, you can use lemon cake mix instead of the vanilla cake mix.

I prefer this cake with a glaze. You can make a vanilla glaze, or my favorite, lemon glaze.

For the lemon glaze, you will need:

1 cup of confectioner’s sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1 tablespoon of lemon juice, or lemon extract.

Just whisk it all together! If it’s too thick, add a little more milk, and if it’s too thin, add a little more confectioner’s sugar. Then pour over the top of the cake.
