Lemon Glazed Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Glazed Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your cake comes out easily.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, white sugar, and eggs.

3. Step 3

   Grab your electric mixer and beat the mixture until it’s light and fluffy, which should take about two delightful minutes.

4. Step 4

   Next, gently fold in all-purpose flour, baking powder, freshly grated lemon zest, and a splash of vanilla extract.

5. Step 5

   Mix everything together until it’s beautifully combined, creating a luscious batter.

6. Step 6

   Pour this delightful cake batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure every bite is just as delicious as the last.

7. Step 7

   Place the dish in your preheated oven and let it bake for around 20 minutes, or until the cake turns a lovely golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that it’s perfectly baked.

8. Step 8

   Once your cake is out of the oven, let it cool completely for about 30 minutes—this is the hardest part, but the aroma will keep you company! While you wait, prepare a simple glaze by mixing confectioners' sugar with fresh lemon juice in a bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.

9. Step 9

   Once the cake has cooled, take a moment to admire your creation, then carefully spread the glaze over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
