This cake was delicious, though I made a couple of adjustments.
Cut sugar back to 150 grams in cake. Perfect sweetness for me.
Milled 200 grams sugar and processed at speed 10 to make icing sugar. I used 3 teaspoons lemon juice to give more of a lemon punch and loved the resultant icing which gave a nice thin coating to the cake. Quite a bit ran onto the plate so next time I would keep the same modified proportions but use 100 grams sugar.

YUMM!
I reduced the sugar in the cake from 250g to 150g, which was ample sweetness for us
Lovely!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I will add zest to list!

This cake is AMAZING! It is easily one of the best cakes I have ever eatten (and I have only just gone gluten free so have had a lot of good cakes in my time). No one in my family were aware it was gluten free - it's sweet, lemony and delicious. The one thing that's missing is the zest in the ingredients but we just assumed it was the zest of one lemon and added it in. I am making it again today into cupcakes this time. Thanks for a great recipe! Yum!
