    Step 3: Add eggs one at a time, alternating with flour, allowing each egg and portion of flour to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir lemon juice and zest into flour mixture until cake batter is just combined.

      Taste great but against my better judgment I buttered instead of cooking spray and let them cool completely. It's a cake massacre. Out of 12, none of them came out and I had to throw everything out, spend 30 minutes srubbing mercilessly the pans and then start again. Don't use butter, just use your cooking spray and take them out when warm.

        Sorry to hear that Andrea, Hopefully cooking spray works better next time. Thanks for the feedback!
