Use fresh lemons for the best natural flavor—it makes a big difference. Don’t rush the creaming step; it helps create that soft, tender texture. Let the cake cool slightly before adding the glaze so it sets beautifully.
Soft, fragrant, and full of sunshine… this is one of those cakes that instantly brightens the whole table.
