For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the icing. Sifting the confectioners' sugar ensures a smooth, lump-free icing. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, bottled lemon juice can be used, but the flavor will be slightly different. For a vegan version, substitute the butter with vegan butter.
