Lemon glazed butter cake is a citrusy celebration of everyone's favorite sour fruit. It's perfect for any occasion from a spring tea party to a summer get together with the family. And summer is going to come way quicker than we want it to.
This recipe was one that I found in the depths of my great, great grandmother's baking recipe book. Now, she passed well before I ever existed and the only stories my mom has of her is that she was an Amazonian of a woman and loved to make sure everyone was fed.
I'm also slightly convinced she was a witch, haha. Everyone's convinced I am too, so I had to get it from somewhere. As I went through her recipes, more would appear and be written in nearly illegible writing. I mean I read it just fine, but many people in today's society would not know what the instructions are.
Lemon glazed butter cake always makes a splash at gatherings, especially in the horrid heat of the Arizona Summer. It is by all definition an easy refreshing dessert without being a cooled dessert. The glaze turns to a wonderfully crunchy coating that lets the cake stay moist especially when you put it in a cake saver overnight. As is butter cake, it can be dense, but it shouldn't be dry. If it seems dry after the first attempt, add a bit more liquid to the recipe.
Lemon glazed butter cake is a great recipe to add to your dessert rotation. Whether you choose to make this your weekly dessert or bake it for a celebration this summer, be sure to enjoy every bit of it. You are making heirlooms that are meant to be enjoyed and shared with loved ones. Happy Baking!
