 Frosting: Place the confectioners sugar in a medium sized bowl. Add about 3 tablespoons of the lemon juice and   whisk until you have a thick and smooth glaze. Add more lemon juice or powdered sugar if needed to get the correct   pouring consistency. Slowly pour the frosting over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the   frosting dry before covering and storing. This cake will keep about 3 to 4 days at room temperature or about one week   in the refrigerator. Can also be frozen.
