Instant Clearjel which is simply modified cornstarch that you can use at home is a bakery ingredient that I use in nearly all my made-from-scratch bakery recipes. You've probably used it before without knowing it, as "modified cornstarch" is the second ingredient in most Instant Pudding Mixes! It makes this lemon cake moister with a wonderfully soft texture, and it makes the lemon-zested frosting thicker.
While it's more known in commercial baking, it has some amazing benefits in home baking as I describe in Instant Clearjel: a Magical Bakery Ingredient. If you want to make this recipe without it, simply use instant pudding mix in the cake batter as described within the recipe.

Nearly all of my cakes are best at room temperature! I want to make sure you enjoy the soft and moist cake texture that is intended by eating the cake at room temperature cake. You can refrigerate the cake after decorating it, but allow it to come back to room temperature hours before serving. Keep in mind the buttercream can melt in warm conditions.
