For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding the zest of one lemon to the cake batter.
If you don't have lemon extract on hand, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, but be aware that it might slightly alter the cake's texture.
To prevent the cake from sticking, you can also line the baking pan with parchment paper in addition to using cooking spray.
