Make confetioners sugar and water into a glaze and drizzle over the cake.

I like to use an oat blend flour with this and a little less sugar than is called for. Also since I use salted butter, I don't miss the recipe not calling for salt.
My friend, Liz, just dropped in and we enjoyed this cake with a cup of Earl Grey tea!!!!

It is Daisy's birthday Today, please stop and say hello to her.
That sounds so yummy (even though I'm not supposed to have anything like this on my new eating regime!)
