STEPS
1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), then grease a rectangular cake pan with a little butter and dust it with flour.
2. Cream butter and sugar: Beat the butter (0.5 cups softened butter) with the sugar (1 cups sugar) until you get a light, creamy mixture.

5. Combine batter: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk (0.5 cups milk) and lemon juice (0.3 cups fresh lemon juice), stirring gently until combined.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top, then bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until cooked through and a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Let the cake cool completely before decorating.
8. Make the glaze: For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar (1 cups powdered sugar) with the lemon juice (2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)) until you get a smooth white sauce of the right consistency.
