Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
Don’t overmix the batter; it can make the cake dense.
Brush each cooled cake layer with a simple syrup for enhanced lemon flavor and moisture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, freeze individual slices.
Top with edible flowers or a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.
