Tips:
- Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will give your cake a brighter flavor than bottled lemon juice.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
