Using cake flour is essential for the cake's light and airy texture. Do not substitute with all-purpose flour.
Be careful not to overbake the cake, as it can become dry. It's better to slightly underbake it than to overbake it.
Allowing the butter to come to room temperature is crucial for creaming it properly with the sugar.
A glaze of lemon juice and powdered sugar can be drizzled over the cooled cake for added sweetness and flavor.
