Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. (Remember every oven is different so start checking your cake at least 15 minutes earlier than the recipe says.) Let set 5 minutes and then put on a plate.






In the below two pictures, it shows the cake being flipped onto a wire rack. I did this before thinking about it. It usually flip it directly onto a plate rather than a rack.

Here is the cake after being flipped. Let it cool a bit before putting on the glaze.




The Lemon Glaze

lemon glaze ingredients


For the glaze, all you need is the juice of 1 lemon and 1 cup confectioner sugar.








sifting powdered sugar

My Sweetie's Tip: I always swift my powdered sugar before mixing because that way it is a lot easlier to mix with whatever liquid you are using.

If you are adding fruit to your cake, let your cake cool completely before placing the fruit.

My husband says this one is definitely a winner!
