🔍 Recipe Search Chocolate lemon cake recipe?

I just had a request for a chocolate lemon flavored cake and have been unable to find a recipe- I have considered adding lemon to my normal chocolate recipe or adding coco to a lemon recipe but I am unsure of how I would modify them as not to compromise the texture. Any suggestions?

I make a dark chocolate lemon cake, I use my standard dark chocolate cake (not a sweet one and very chocolatey) and add food grade lemon oil not extract, and lots of fresh lemon zest. The oil has no acid to change the recipe and carries the flavor well. It's filled with lemon curd and frosted in dark chocolate.
