Notes
It's not necessary to use parchment paper, but the cake will lift out of the pan much easier when cooled.
If the icing is too thick, add a teaspoon of lemon juice at a time until the icing thins out. If it is too thin, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
