Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 baking dish.

- Combine the buttermilk and lemon juice in a glass measuring cup; mix well.
- With the mixer on low speed, beat 1/3 flour mixture into the butter mixture followed by 1/3 of the buttermilk mixture. Continue process of alternating between the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture until just combined. Scrape the bowl and finish mixing with a rubber spatula.

- Add the lemon juice and 3 cups of powdered sugar. Beat in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and then mix in the remaining powdered sugar if needed, gently beat, adding more cream if necessary, until it's creamy and smooth.
