This syrup is delicious and has numerous uses. I made a lemon cake, punctured it with a fork and poured the lemon syrup glaze in the holes. My guests raved about the cake. Also added it to fish, vegetables, drinks, (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), fruit, muffins, tea. The uses are endless. Made a batch, put in pretty jars, and gave to neighbors.

I’ve always used icing sugar when making a glaze. Does your recipe use granulated sugar instead?
This is cooked so you use granulated sugar.

Hello I was wondering what if u leave the glaze on a pound cake for 4 days at room temp and covered what would the consistency be. Like thick or sticky? Or will it harden up.
Hi Margaret,
The cake would get soggy and the syrup could crystalize on the cake.

This glaze is delicious! Easy to make and adds the perfect touch to lemon poppyseed cake, pancakes, crepes, anything really! Spoonfuls are a fan favorite with the kids as well!
Baked an Italian lemon olive cake and glazed it with the syrup, adding additional lemon zest and rosewater. It was absolutely perfect. Super easy to make and delicious.
