Tips:

Choose the right lemons. Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons, making them a good choice for this recipe. If you only have regular lemons, you can add a little more sugar to the recipe.
Zest the lemons before you juice them. This will help to release the lemon's essential oils and give the cake a more intense flavor.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it lighter and more tender.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
Fold in the flour and baking powder gently. Over-mixing can toughen the cake.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This lemon delight cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tart flavors is sure to please everyone. With its light and fluffy texture and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit.
