Notes

This cake is best when kept in the refrigerator, but it can be kept at room temperature for a few hours.
Store in an airtight container for best results.
Place on a wire rack until the cake cools.
If you prefer a cream cheese frosting instead of the glaze recipe I've included, that will also work with this cake (just add a little lemon juice!)
You can make a cherry lemon sundrop cake by adding cherry sundrop!
If you do not have access to sun drop, use Mountain Dew instead.
Be ready to mix the cake and put immediately into the oven, so allow oven to preheat first.
