✨ Tips

• Use real butter, not margarine.

• Do not use diet soda.

• For extra lemon flavor, poke holes in the warm cake and spoon glaze over slowly.

Variations

• Lemon-Lime: Add lime zest to the batter.

• Orange 7UP Cake: Swap lemon for orange extract + juice.

• Old-school version: Use cake flour for an even finer crumb.
