This lemon icing is my go to for brightening up any cake or cupcake, and honestly, it couldn't be easier to make. Just five minutes and a few pantry staples get you a silky, tangy frosting that tastes like sunshine. The fresh lemon juice not only gives you that wonderful bright flavor, but it's also packed with vitamin C to boost your immune system. What I love most is how quickly it comes together with no cooking required, so you can frost your desserts right away without any fussy waiting around. Trust me, once you make this homemade version, you'll never go back to the store bought stuff.
