Notes:

  • Depending on the size and juiciness of the lemons, 3-5 lemons are needed for this recipe.
  • Lemon zest can be added to the cake and frosting for extra flavor and color.
  • I added 2 drops of yellow food coloring to the cake to make it yellow. Otherwise, it will appear white. You can add as much yellow food coloring as desired.
  • The leftover cake can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.
