Creamy Lemon Cake

This creamy lemon cake is sunshine in dessert form. The batter is brightened with fresh lemon juice and zest, giving it just the right balance of sweet and tart. After baking, it’s brushed with a simple lemon syrup to keep things extra moist and flavorful. And on top? A smooth, lemony cream that lands somewhere between a curd and a cloud. It’s all baked in a Charlotte pan for a pretty, classic shape that makes it feel just a little more special—no fuss, just fresh, citrusy joy in every bite. Just gorgeous!
