To make glaze:
6
In a small sauce pan add sugar and lemon juice, stir until dissolved and clear. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in (a pastry brush works great for this, as does using a toothpick to make tiny holes that draw the syrup in better).
7
Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Then eat!!!!
