Simple Lemon Pie with Glaze
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. This simple lemon cake can be easily and quickly made for a family tea gathering. It can be stored for a long time, but disappears from the table quickly. I love eating this cake with a cup of coffee without sugar. The slightly bitter taste of strong coffee pairs wonderfully with the pleasant tang of the lemon cake. It can be served with tea or coffee.

Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance so that it softens well. Wash the lemon thoroughly and zest it using a fine grater. Try to zest in a way that you don't reach the white part of the peel. Squeeze the juice from the lemon.
