I was selected as a tester for Aspartame sweetener, so I tried using it to make some sweets that I usually avoided due to the calories.

I recommend using Earl Grey tea.
Adjust the amount of water according to how rich you would like the lemon icing.
If you let it sit overnight, it will become even more moist.
You can also bake it in an 18-cm pound cake pan. Recipe by Renbasu
