Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine all Wet Ingredients.
Gradually add the Wet Ingredients to the Dry Ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
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 Glaze by whisking together Powdered Sugar and Lemon Juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice for desired consistency.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting with the Glaze.
