Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x13 inch baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, let the cake cool in the tray for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the tray and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
