In a medium bowl add the Icing Sugar, melted butter, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, stir to combine and add a tsp of water at a time until you have the consistency of stiff peanut butter. Taste the icing to see if it is lemony enough for you and add more lemon juice to the mixture if required. If flavour right but not spreadable enough add a few drops of water at a time until you have a lovely smooth spreadable icing.

Lemon pudding mix: The lemon pudding mix intensifies the lemon flavor and adds richness and moisture to the cake.Step 2: Beat eggs in a large bowl, using an electric mixer. Add cake mix, pudding mix, water, and oil, and mix until well combined. When you have made the frosting, and the cake is well cooled, place one of the cakes face up on a plate on a cake stand. When ready to serve, bring it out of the fridge and leave it out for it to get to room temperature before serving. Blitz the washed, quartered lemons NOTE: remove all pips before you add to the food processor and search once blitzed for those you missed. Remove the pips over a bowl to ensure you do not lose any of the juice, fiddly but worth it!
