Lemon Glaze (BAKING)

By hmp13

Makes about ½ cup, enough to glaze one pound cake

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups icing sugar
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream, or more as needed

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl and stir with a whisk until smooth. Whisk in cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is smooth and falls in a thin stream when you lift the whisk.

Drizzle the glaze over the room temperature pound cake set on a cake rack on a sheet pan. Let the icing drip down the sides for a rustic, homespun effect.
