Ingredientsīeyond the Limoncello, what we have here is a pretty standard cake recipe! Keep scrolling down to the recipe card for full ingredient amounts and instructions, or click the Jump To Recipe button at the top. The alcohol percentage of Limoncello sits around 30%, so when used in small amounts like this recipe, anyone can enjoy it.

The result is a vibrant yellow, super lemony, and sweet liqueur. It’s a super easy process that can be replicated at home! This popular Italian lemon liqueur is made from lemon peels steeped in a spirit, usually grappa or vodka, then mixed with simple syrup. The sweetness of that glaze paired with the big bright and acidic lemon flavor just gets me every time. I don’t know what it is about a good lemon loaf or cake! Whenever I see something like this at a cafe, even if I’m not all that hungry, you better believe I’ll be ordering a slice with my coffee.

Especially when that cake is spiked with a bit of Limoncello! But don’t worry, with just a few splashes of this liqueur you’re getting much more flavor than buzz. Nothing puts more pep in my step than starting the day off with a slice of lemon cake. It’s a great addition to your morning routine between sips of coffee. My Limoncello Lemon Cake is irresistibly citrusy made with Limoncello liqueur in the cake batter and the glaze.
