For the best results, use a high-quality lemon pie filling with a vibrant lemon flavor.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning for optimal emulsification.
The ungreased tube pan is crucial for the cake's rise. The batter needs to cling to the sides of the pan.
Be patient during the cooling process. Cooling the cake inverted is essential for its light and airy texture.
If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly during baking, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon liqueur to the filling.

    My cake sunk a little in the middle. I think I may have overmixed the batter. I'll try again, though, because the flavor was delicious!
