[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I expected. It was a bit dry and the lemon flavor was not very pronounced.

[email protected]This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by about 1/4 cup.
