A good cake to me needs to be moist, the frosting has to be TDF, and there shouldn't be any dry brown edges. I set out to accomplish that with this recipe. This cake is moist, has a lemon syrup drizzled into the cake, as well as a lemon buttercream frosting on top. It was amazing! It's not super sour, but the flavor of lemon is prominent in every bite.

1/4 c fresh lemon juice
1 c powdered sugar
Lemon Buttercream:
4 tbs butter, softened
zest of one lemon
Pinch of salt
2-3 c powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 310 degrees. Grease a bundt pan or a 9x13, set aside. Combine all ingredients for the cake, and pour into prepared dish. Cook for 30-40 minutes or just until done, don't over bake. Combine ingredients for lemon glaze. When cake come out of the over, prick several times with a fork, all over, and slowly pour lemon glaze over the whole surface. Let sit until almost cool. If using a bunt pan, invert it onto a plate. Mix lemon buttercream ingredients together until desired frosting consistency. Frost the top of the cake. Enjoy!
