Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter cake, consider substituting half of the sweetened condensed milk with Greek yogurt. When mixing the cake batter, avoid overmixing to ensure a fluffy texture. If you'd like to enhance the lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the batter. This cake can also be adapted using other cake mixes for different flavors, similar to the idea behind American recipes.
