Stir the flour & spices together in a spearate bowl. Add in the flour mix in the molasses mix a third at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the reserved sour lowfat milk baking soda mix & beat till well blended.
- TO PREPARE CAKE Drop small spoonfuls of lemon & spice batter alternately into prepared cake pans, dividing both batters proportionately between the two pans. Try to put mostly lemon batter around the edges, the spice batter puffs up more & may run over the pan edge while baking. Run a knife through the batter in each pan several times to increase the marbling effect. Bake in preheated oven for 35-45 min or possibly till toothpick inserted in the center of each layer comes out clean. Cold 15 min, remove from pans. Cold completely. Frost with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
- Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting: Blend together cream cheese, lemon juice & lemon peel. Add in the powdered sugar gradually, blending well. If frosting is too stiff to spread, blend in cool water 1/2 tsp at a time till desired consistency is reached.
