Frequently Asked Questions
The glaze won’t set. What am I doing wrong?
If your glaze appears to seep into the cake instead of setting as it should, it is possible that your cake is still too hot. It is important to allow your cake to cool completely after taken out of the oven. Once cooled entirely, you can pour the glaze over the cake and have it set as intended.
Why is my lemon cake dry?
A cake tasting dry can mean that there is too much flour. What you can do to help make your next cake better without adding too much liquid is to add a little bit of oil into the batter – about ¼ cup. The oil or fat will help keep moisture inside our cake!
Conclusion
The perfect tea-time snack for someone who isn't a fan of desserts that are too sweet. We love how the lemon cuts the sweetness, creating just the right balance between sweet and sour.Have your own special recipe to share? Submit Your Recipe Today!
