- Zest and juice the lemons needed. I used a total of 4 large lemons.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and lemon zest. Mix until ingredients are well blended to make a lemon sugar.
- Add 1 cup of butter to lemon sugar and use a hand mixer to beat until smooth.

- Create the glaze. Whisk confectioner sugar with lemon juice and pour over cake.

For a less tangy lemon glaze- swap some of the lemon juice for milk.
