Method

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. Prepare a pan with baking spray with flour in it and use a pastry brush to evenly coat the details. You can also use Crisco/butter and flour the cavities.
3. In a large bowl, blend butter and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest.
5. Add remaining ingredients and blend on low speed, for 1 minute, scraping the bowl often.
6. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well blended.
7. Divide batter evenly among cavities, filling each only 3/4 full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Cool for 10 minutes in a pan. Invert onto a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes. If there is leftover batter, clean the pan and repeat the steps.
10. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the glaze.
11. In a small saucepan, combine all glaze ingredients.
12. Stir constantly over low heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
13. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
14. Brush glaze over cakes.
