Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the Cake Butter and Cake Granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the Cake Eggs one at a time, then stir in the Cake Vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Cake Flour, Cake Baking powder, and Cake Salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Cake Milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the Cake Lemon juice.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the Lemon Glaze by whisking together the Powdered sugar and Lemon juice until smooth. Add more Lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
Let the cake cool slightly before drizzling with the Lemon Glaze. Cut into squares and serve.
