Dana, we're hoping you keep a hopeful outlook about this recipe and don't give up—we want you to experience lemon bliss too! This cake is slightly more pound cake-like than other sponge/layer cakes may be. It's pleasantly dense though, and should be super moist too. If you found the texture to be dry, you might want to try turning the temperature of your oven down slightly and check for doneness a few minutes earlier than you otherwise would, as over-baking can impede the texture. We also recommend checking out the video showing how to make this recipe, as it will give you a visual guide of what the batter should look like and how long things should be mixed. Lastly, the glaze will turn hard if it's heated for too long. Just heat the lemon juice and sugar mixture slightly and stir to dissolve before applying to the still-warm cake. Good luck! Kye@KAF
