SOAKED LEMON CAKE (SWISS STYLE)
Ideal for lemon lovers. My favorite lemon cake, it is juice and very tasty. After several attempts and investigating around I concluded this recipe by doing a lot of adjustments. For some people it might be too citric, but it all depends on your taste and the amount of lemon juice you add to the syrup.
