Lemon Cake With Homemade Icing

Lemon Cake:
-1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist Lemon Cake

Make as directed.

While cooking make icing:
-1/2 cup butter
-2 tablespoons lemon juice
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-3 cups confectioners' sugar

Mix all ingredients together with beater until light and fluffy. Add more sugar or lemon juice to adjust consistency and flavor. (I added a lot more lemon juice because I wanted it more lemony and less sugary tasting). Makes enough for 9X13 pan.

Right after cake gets out of oven, poke holes in the top and spread icing on top. Wait a couple of minutes and do it again. This way the icing soaks into the cake. If you want more when cake is cool, you can do so- I didn't.

This makes the lemon stand out, and it is really really good!
