Becky’s Tips for Perfection:
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature. This ensures better mixing and a smoother batter.
- Zest First: Zest the lemons before juicing them. It’s easier to zest firm lemons, and the zest adds intense flavor to the cake.
- Sifting Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt before adding to the wet ingredients. This prevents lumps and guarantees a tender crumb.
- Gentle Mixing: When incorporating the dry ingredients, use a gentle folding motion to prevent overmixing, which can lead to a dense cake.
