Lemon Cake

Added lemon simple syrup and strawberry jam for the middle layer. Also, extra zest to the frosting because we like extra lemon flavor.

I used less sugar in the cake and the frosting. To prevent a dense cake, use room temperature ingredients, when creaming the butter and sugar, do until fluffy. Spoon the flour and scrape when measuring. Don’t over mix when adding flour mixture to wet mixture.

Great flavor, but cake was dense.

My 4yo son requested a "lemon cake with raspberries on the top" for his birthday today, and this is the recipe I used. I added some yellow food coloring and decreased the powdered sugar in the frosting by a cup. Excited to try a piece this evening!

The sugar amounts are unnecessarily high. I reduced it by 30-40% and the cake was still sweet enough and delicious!
