- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding to the batter. This will help ensure the cake rises evenly.

- Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- For the lemon glaze, whisk together confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.
