Once the cake is done (and while still hot), you an infuse it with a lemon syrup.
To make the syrup, mix:

70 g | powder sugar |
90 ml | lemon juice |
in a pot on small heat until the sugar is disolved. Set aside and let cool. When the cake comes out of the oven, let it cool for a short time, then pierce the top with a toothpick and use a brush to add the syrup. This is best done, when the cake is already out of the form.
Optionally, one can also add icing on top.
