Waaay too SWEET!

I like my lemon desserts TANGY! What I did: Used only 1. 5 cups sugar ( orig. 2cups) Used 3.

5 TBS lemon juice ( orig. 2 TBS) No zest ( orig. 1 1/ 2 TBS) No powdered sugar ( orig. 1/ 4 cup) Result: Too sweet. No lemon tang What I' d do next time: Use only 1 cup sugar ( orig.

2 cups) 6+ TBS lemon juice ( orig. 2 TBS) Use only 1 1/ 4 cup milk ( depending on how much extra lemon juice added) ( orig.

1 1/ 2 cups) I personally don' t like zest ( diminishes lemon tang/ too bitter) but the cake part , imo, was in need of something. So you just might want to maybe sprinkle some zest over top of cake just before baking.
