Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole milk

This cake was a disappointment. The glaze was too runny and the cake was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The glaze is delicious and the cake is very moist. I would recommend using less sugar in the glaze if you prefer a less sweet dessert.

I'm not usually a fan of lemon desserts, but this cake changed my mind! The glaze is perfectly balanced and not too tart. The cake itself is moist and fluffy. It was a delight to eat.

This cake was a hit at my last dinner party! The lemon glaze gives it a bright and tangy flavor that perfectly complements the rich, buttery cake. I'll definitely be making this again.
