  • To get the most juice out of your lemons, roll them on the counter before cutting them. This will help break down the membranes and release more juice.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
