Lemon Cake

Add the ingredients for the cake to a mixing bowl and mix about 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Pour into a well greased and lightly floured 9×13 glass baking dish.
Bake 50-55 minutes at 325. After cooling 10 minutes, prick the top of cake with a 2 pronged fork, which has prongs separated about one inch.—Like a meat fork.  Holes should be separated about one inch apart over all the surface of the cake.

Pour the glaze evenly over the cake.
Glaze will run into the holes with a little left on the top of the cake.
