5
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake at 350F degrees for about 30 minutes.

7
PREPARE GLAZE: (while cake is baking)
8
Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
9
When cake is done, poke cake with a fork. Just poke all over the cake to make lots of holes.
10
Then pour glaze onto the cake.
11
Spread the glaze out so that it seeps down into the holes.
12
The cake needs to cool completely before adding the frosting.
13
FROSTING:
14
In a medium bowl combine whipped topping and lemon frosting.
15
Stir well until completely combined. Then frost cooled cake.
16
Cake needs to be kept refrigerated (because of whipped topping) and covered.
