  9. Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
  10. When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them.
  12. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
  13. For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth.
  14. Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.
