The icing for the cake is like the cherry on top. No matter how delicious and juicy fruit cake you make, adding chocolate or lemon glaze will turn it from a simple dessert into a real work of bakery art.
The lemon glaze is one of the most easy-to-prepare glazes that even a novice in the kitchen can prepare.
All you need are lemons, lemon oil, powdered sugar, lemons and cow butter.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon and add it to 400-450 grams of sifted powdered sugar. Depending on how thick you want the glaze to be, the grams of the powdered sugar vary.
Stir well until a smooth and homogeneous mixture is obtained, then add one tablespoon of melted butter and stir again until the oil is completely absorbed in the mixture.
Finally add 3 drops of lemon oil and stir again. With the help of lemon oil, the glaze itself becomes much more aromatic, but the aroma is not too intense.
The use of butter instead of oil gives a slight fluffiness to the glaze and this way the glaze becomes more airy. It literally melts in your mouth.
If you have ready-made lemon glaze on hand, you can use it to top your sponge cake, cupcakes, Christmas cookies or even swiss roll.
