My note:
1. Tried this recipe and the cake taste delicious but the texture a bit hard. My batter didn't raise as much as I expected, potential due to my new baking powder or minor mistake while preparing the batter. Highly recommended for new learner like me.
2. The next morning, I tried this recipe again. This mean I tried a same recipe twice within 24 hours. I bake it at ~ 60 minutes instead of 65 minutes. Replace the lemon grind with 1tbsp orange grind as I just finish my lemon yesterday. The batter raised moderately and the texture not too hard or too soft. Thumb up!
