- Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 2 pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 min. to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
- When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely.
- For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth.
- Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.
- The End!
