"This cake is so lemony and moist and it has a delicious glaze that soaks into the cake and makes it even more delicious. I love recipes that start with a mix. My friend's mother gave me this luscious recipe and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."

2. Place all the cake ingrredients in a bowl and beat on high speed until batter is thick, about 3 minutes. Stop mixing halfway through to scrape the batter down off the sides.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan and place on the center rack in the preheated oven.
4. Bake the cake for 40 minutes, until it is light brown and beginning to pull away from the sides. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes.
5. Prepare the glaze by combining all 3 ingredients.
6. Remove cake from pan. While cake is warm, use a very thin skewer and poke holes over the top of the cake. Slowly spoon glaze over the cake. The glaze will seep into the holes and will also drizzle over the sides and center.
7. This cake is wonderful warm or cool.
