Ingredients

  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 2 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. If you need to thin it out more, add more lemon juice ½ tablespoon at a time.

Notes

  • There are several ways to easily adjust this powdered sugar lemon glaze, including:
  • Salt: A pinch of salt will enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness in the lemon cake glaze. All you need is a pinch.
  • Vegan butter: Add a teaspoon of melted unsalted (or salted) plant-based butter to the lemon icing glaze for a silky mouthfeel and richer flavor.
  • Strawberry lemon glaze: Either blend and strain strawberries OR combine sliced strawberries and sugar in a small bowl and allow it to macerate. You can then use the juice extracted from the fruit instead of some of the lemon juice in the icing.
  • Lemon and raspberry drizzle: Use the same method as above, but with raspberries.
  • Lemon elderflower glaze: Use a teaspoon or so (adjust to taste) of elderflower cordial in place of some lemon juice.
  • Ginger lemon drizzle icing: Add a small amount of the syrup from a jar of stem ginger in place of some lemon juice.
