This made a light fluffy cake. I also only used 2 tsp of baking powder instead of the suggested 3 spoons. I baked it for 30 minutes. It makes quite a small cake., approved=true, user_name=Nan Cooper, hs_createdate=1702249872323, rating_new__1_5_=2, id=11175519147}, {comment_text=This is one of the best lemon cakes I have ever made, a little on the small small side yes but would be great for layering. I creamed the butter and sugar first with a hand mixer then added eggs one at a time mixing well before adding the next. Then added remaining wet with the addition of vanilla extract and mixed with a spoon, then all dry. I did use 3 teaspoons of baking powder even though I thought it was a tad strange. 10/10 cake, approved=true, user_name=August, hs_createdate=1702249871592, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175495954}, {comment_text=Absolutely delicious!
