This cake was easy to make and turned out great! The glaze was a bit too thick for my taste, so I thinned it out with a little bit of water. Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of lemon desserts, but this cake changed my mind. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the almond extract added a nice nutty flavor. The glaze was also very good, and it helped to keep the cake moist.
