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

- Then fold in the lemon zest and mix until combined.
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.
