Powdered Sugar       - 3.5 cups
Lemon Juice             - 3 tbsp 
Cold Milk                 - 2 tbsp (Optional)

Procedure:

  • Whisk butter and lemon zest together.
  • When its fluffy, add powdered sugar and lemon juice.
  • Whisk it well , till it reaches free flowing consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add in 2 tbsp of cold milk or more. Adding milk is purely optional. Frosting should be easily spreadable. If the frosting is too thin, it won't stay on cakes. So be careful, while adding milk.
  • Take the Lemon Chiffon Cake in a plate. Cut the cake into two layers horizontally. Rotating the plate while cutting helps in correct partitioning of cake.
  • Take a plate in which you are going to serve cake. Add frosting to the center. Place the bottom sponge layer to it. This is done to prevent the cake from moving
  • Spread a good ½ inch layer of  frosting to it.

  • Now the second layer, keep it upside down .Take a big dollop of  frosting and then spread it on top as well on sides. Then make it smooth! If crumbs are seen, do a crumb coat.
