3. **Cream butter and sugar:** In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

7. **Cool the cake:** Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. **Prepare the glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more lemon juice if needed.
9. **Glaze the cake:** Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
