Notes

For this recipe, you will need an 8-ounce block of cream cheese. Divided it will make the cake and the frosting.

This recipe will require approximately 3-4 large lemons for the juice and zest needed for the cake and the frosting.

If you prefer more of a lemon glaze, thin the frosting with more milk until you get your desired consistency.
