Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease an 9x9 baking dish. Place butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix with electric mixer until well blended and fluffy. Add all other cake ingredients and mix until well combined, will resemble cookie dough.
Pat into greased dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden around edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool while you mix up the syrup.
To make syrup, combine lemon juice and sugar and stir to dissolve (can heat in microwave for 30 seconds to help speed up process). Poke holes all over top of cake and evenly pour lemon juice over. Allow to cool completely.
Place all glaze ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Pour over top of cake, spread to cover. Allow to harden.
Once glaze is hardened, cover cake with foil and allow to sit at room temperature several hours for the juice to be absorbed and distributed throughout cake.
