Notes:

  • This cake is best served chilled and can be kept for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Zest Tips: When zesting the lemon, make sure to only grate the outer, colored part of the peel. The white pith underneath can be bitter.

  • Crumb Perfection: Don’t overmix the crumb mixture. You want it to be crumbly, not a paste.

  • Icing Absorption: Pricking holes in the warm cake allows the icing to seep in, giving every bite a burst of sweet and tangy flavor.

  • Make it Nutty: If you’re a fan of nuts, add chopped pecans to the crumb mixture for a delightful crunch.

  • Time Saver: Prepare the crumb mixture and icing the night before to streamline the baking process in the morning.
