I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake is easy to make and it turned out great! I used a bundt pan and it came out beautifully.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor is not too overpowering and the cake is very moist.
