I have a recipe for a lemon cake -- Maida Heatter's "East 62nd Street
Lemon Cake" to be exact; the recipe's online he

and here's the tiny url:

-- that I bake in a fancy Nordic Ware Bundt-type pan. 5 minutes after
removing the cake from the oven, the cake is turned out of the pan and
is brushed all over with a mixture of lemon juice and sugar. This soaks
into the cake and enhances its flavour, but once the cake cools, some of
the sugar re-crystallizes and creates a kind of glaze that doesn't hide
whatever detail the pan made on the cake. The effect is nice, and would
work well on something like these cupcakes because it would be easy to
see the flower shapes after the glazing while still providing some
decoration.
