If there were ever a cake for lemon lovers, this is it. For starters, lemon zest and lemon juice are added to the batter, which perfume the cake with lemon. Then, while the cake is still warm from the oven, it is doused with a lemon syrup to further enhance the lemon flavor. Finally, the cake is drizzled with a tart lemon glaze, which adds a pop of intense lemon flavor to every bite. The cake keeps well for days, and is actually best made a day ahead of time. Many thanks to my longtime reader (and cooking pen pal), Karen Tannenbaum, for sharing her lemon cake with me and inspiring this recipe.
