I did everything exactly as the recipe said - I even went back and checked to make sure that I did. The ingredients in proportion to each other are completely wrong, way to much sugar for the recipe and WAY too much baking powder. One of the ingredients (I am guessing the baking powder) had some sort of reaction with the lemon and it overflowed in my oven into a foamy, bubbly mess. More like a science experiment than a cake., approved=true, user_name=Nicole, hs_createdate=1702249859596, rating_new__1_5_=1, id=11175451823}, {comment_text=This worked very well and tasted delicious!!!, approved=true, user_name=Mya, hs_createdate=1702249859486, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175388291}]}
