Recipe for the Month: Vanilla Cake with Lemon Glaze

This is the best yellow cake I’ve ever had… its light, tender, moist, the buttery texture is just perfect and tangy as I drizzled it with lemon glaze while the cake was still warm…. It’s easy to bake and big on flavor. And I assure you of instant love at first bite!! Thanks Sarita Jijo for this simple recipe …this is a cake that makes me happy!

Method:
Stir in the juice of 2 limes into 1/2 a cup of powdered sugar, and stir till you have a thick and smooth glaze. Add more powdered sugar or lemon juice if needed to get the right flowing consistency.  Pour the frosting over the top of the cake and allow it to drip down the sides.
