- Pour batter into 9- or 10-inch tube pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until top is golden brown and springs back when touched.
- Then remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before glazing.
- For the lemon glaze:
- Put confectioners' sugar into a small bowl. Add a little lemon juice and stir until glazing consistency is reached. Stir in lemon zest and drizzle over cooled angel food cake.
