For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of orange zest to the batter. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smoother batter. Don't overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added, as this can result in a tough cake. If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. A glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice adds a lovely finishing touch.
