Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start. This will make it easier to mix and will help to prevent lumps.
  • Don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Over-baking will make the cake dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you frost it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before you pour in the batter.
  • This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
