I made this cake for my birthday (April 19, 2017). I love lemon, and apparently so does everyone else, because it didn't last long! The glaze is what really makes this cake. You may use fresh or bottled lemon juice. Also, if you don't have brandy or rum, you can substitute another tablespoon of lemon juice. This cake can also be made as a Bundt cake, and the glaze brushed on while cake is still warm. I like using the 13"x9" pan because it can be served right from the pan.
