Tips:

Choose the right lemons: Meyer lemons are ideal for this cake as they have a sweeter and less tart flavor. If you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons, but reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
Zest the lemons finely: The lemon zest is what gives this cake its bright citrus flavor. Be sure to zest the lemons finely so that it's evenly distributed throughout the cake.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and tender.
Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Waylon's Lemon Summer Picnic Cake is a delicious and refreshing cake that is perfect for any summer gathering. With its bright citrus flavor and light and fluffy texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a summer dessert, be sure to give this recipe a try!
