Lemon cake gets its bright, refreshing flavor from fresh lemon juice and zest, which add natural tartness and balance the sweetness of the batter. The citrusy aroma enhances the cake’s light texture, while ingredients like buttermilk or sour cream help keep it moist. Paired with cream cheese frosting, lemon cake offers a perfect mix of tangy and sweet flavors.
The best frosting for lemon cake is cream cheese frosting because its smooth, tangy flavor complements the zesty lemon perfectly. Some bakers also add a white chocolate ganache drizzle or raspberry filling for extra sweetness and visual appeal. These additions enhance the cake’s texture and elevate it from a simple dessert to an elegant centerpiece.
To keep a lemon layer cake fresh, store it covered in the refrigerator for up to five days. Because of its cream cheese frosting and fruit filling, refrigeration helps maintain both flavor and structure. Before serving, allow the cake to sit at room temperature for about 30–60 minutes so the frosting softens and the lemon flavor fully shines through.
