Notes:
- Room temperature ingredients whip up better and ensure leavening in the finished product.
- Lemon extract can be substituted for the lemon juice. Other extracts, juices, or zests can be used to create other variations.
- Extract can be substituted for the lemon juice in the glaze. In addition the glaze can be made thicker by adding more powered sugar or thinner by adding more juice.
