Instructions

3️⃣ Bake:

4️⃣ Make the Glaze:
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, melted butter, water, and lemon juice until smooth.
5️⃣ Add the Glaze:
- Once the cake is baked, let it cool slightly.
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes across the surface of the cake.
- Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
6️⃣ Serve:
