For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter. To prevent the cake from sticking, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper before greasing it. The glaze can be adjusted to your liking by adding more or less lemon juice. The cake is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking, stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
