For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the glaze. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you don't have limoncello, you can substitute with lemon extract (start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste). A bundt pan can be substituted for the 8-inch square pan, adjusting baking time as needed. To prevent the cake from sticking, line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment paper before greasing.

Jan 26, 2025For a more intense limoncello flavor, brush the cake with extra limoncello liqueur after baking.
