Customizations and Tips:
Lemon Glaze Variation: To create a tangy glaze, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or juice as needed. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake for an extra punch of lemony sweetness.
Texture Enhancements: For a denser texture, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour. This alteration introduces a nutty undertone to the cake’s flavor profile.
Addition of Poppy Seeds: If you desire a delightful crunch and a slightly nutty flavor, add a tablespoon or two of poppy seeds to the batter. These tiny black seeds not only offer texture but also complement the citrusy notes remarkably well.
Lemon Curd Filling: Elevate the cake by spreading a layer of homemade or store-bought lemon curd between the cake layers. This adds an extra burst of tanginess and moisture.
