For an extra moist cake, brush the cake with a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves) before drizzling with the lemon glaze. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
