Lemon Drizzle Bars

I love making this lemon drizzle bars.  It is so easy to make and taste delicious.  I especially love the lemon flavour and the sweet icing topping.  This cake is best eaten the next day where the cake is set and moist.  Just store it in an air tight container and place it in room temperature.
