Beat batter on high speed for 1 minute, scraping bowl well.Pour into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until center just starts to spring back when touched. Top of cake should be a light golden color.While cake bakes, make the glaze. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in medium mixing bowl. Whisk or stir until very smooth and opaque.Remove cake from oven and immediately poke small holes into cake using a toothpick. Slowly pour half of the glaze over cake, spreading slowly to cover entire surface. Let cake absorb glaze, then slowly pour remaining glaze over cake.

Dust with additional powdered sugar just before serving, if desired. Serves 24.Baker`s hint: Start pouring glaze over center of cake. This will help the cake absorb the glaze evenly so it doesn`t pool in the corners.Nutrition values per serving: 214 calories, 9 g fat, 31 g carbohydrates, 0 g fiber, 2 g protein, 54 mg cholesterol, 66 mg sodium
