Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want it to last longer, consider refrigerating it.
  • Freezing: You can freeze this cake! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before placing it in the freezer. It can last for up to three months.
  • Variations: For a fun twist, try adding a layer of cream cheese frosting. It pairs beautifully with the lemon flavor.
  • Flavor Boost: Incorporate lemon zest into the batter for an extra burst of lemony goodness.
  • Serving Suggestions: This cake is delightful on its own but serves beautifully with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
