Yes, you can replace the vanilla extract with the lemon extract to make a lemon flavored cake. icon_smile.gif

If you don't feel that's lemony enough, you can add a bit extra...

You may also want to consider adding fresh lemon zest to the cake batter. It carries quite a lemon-y punch.

Can't tell ya. But taste the batter once the extract is mixed in and ready to go. If you think it is sufficiently puckery then great. If not, you can add zest for additional punch.
