For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider making a simple lemon glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and lemon juice, then drizzling it over the cooled cake. Ensure your butter is properly softened for a smoother batter and a more tender cake. Don't overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added, as this can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined. For best results, use fresh, high-quality lemon zest. Avoid the white pith, which can be bitter.
