For a more intense lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the batter.
If desired, prepare a simple lemon glaze by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cakes.
To ensure a moist cake, do not overbake. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
