For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider making a simple lemon glaze by whisking together powdered sugar with a bit of lemon juice and drizzling it over the cooled cake. Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal mixing and a smoother batter. Don't overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can result in a tough cake. For best results, use fresh lemon zest and juice. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
