For an enhanced lemon flavor, consider adding a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice once the cake has cooled. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and baking. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour with 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
