Get it University of Michigan’s colors are Maize and Blue, Blueberry and Lemon, Blue and Maize, get it? Anywho, this is my last first day of school for a long time and I am super excited. So, here goes the recipe.

How to confuse people – say all purpose flour, lemon juice and lemon zest in the ingredients and then self raising flour, orange juice and orange zest in the method. Also, I guess you add the sugar to the dry ingredients?
I am very sorry about the mistakes in this post. I have corrected them, and add in the sugar with the wet ingredients.
