Sprinkling a lemon glaze over a dessert is an easy way to decorate and add a little extra freshness, interest, and flavor. This easy lemon glaze recipe is made with just three ingredients: confectioners’ sugar (or powder), milk, and fresh lemon juice or lemon extract. It is perfect for pound cake, rum cake, bundt cake, coffee cake, pastry rolls, and cookies.
Making lemon glaze from scratch allows you to adapt the taste and consistency to any baked product. For example, if you want it thicker, add a little more sugar . Citrus glazes are especially good with other fruits, and lemons are especially delicious with raspberry and raspberry products.
