TO MAKE A HOMEMADE glaze, YOU ONLY NEED 3 INGREDIENTS:
2 drops. Of food coloring, I used the yellow color.

Instructions:
Step 1:
I started by heating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit =180 degrees Celsius, and I greased a medium cake pan, I preferred using the Heritage pan for this recipe.
Step 2:
Next, I whisked together the granulated sugar, with flour that I sifted before, gelatin, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 3
Following that, I mixed in the butter at low speed until the mixture resembles sand.
Step 4:
Then, I combined the milk with the vanilla flavoring in a large mixing bowl and I poured it in all at once, and I mixed on low for 30 seconds, then I raised it to medium and beat for another 30 seconds.
Step 5:
And, I scraped the mixing bowl’s bottom and edges, and using a low-speed mixer, I added eggs one after the other mixing for 30 seconds of each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl, and beating for 30 seconds on a medium-high pace.
Step 6:
After that, I combined the strawberry purée and one lemon zest in a mixing bowl, and I poured the batter into the prepared pan.
Step 7:
I baked for around 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8:
Once the 40 minutes are done, I removed from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes to cool, turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9:
To make the glaze, I combined the powdered sugar, with two large lemons’ juice, and yellow food coloring.
Step 10:
And I combined it all in a large mixing bowl, put it for around 10 seconds in the microwave, and drizzled the glaze over the cooled cake.
Step 11:
And to finish, I served the cake with fresh strawberry halves for garnish.
