There is something about this delicious, moist cake that keeps us all coming back for more. It is rich, moist, perfectly flavored lemon cake topped with the perfect layer of lemon frosting. While baking, keep it in the oven a little longer than some of the other recipes. It needed a little longer to ensure that it wouldn’t sink in the middle.

The cake itself is perfectly lemony, and the lemon glaze boosts the lemon flavor even more. Lemon lovers will be in their glory. For the glaze, feel free to spread or drizzle. Also, you can wait until right before you’re going to serve the cake before drizzling the glaze.
