2. Cook the Mixture: Set the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to ensure that the butter melts evenly and the sugar dissolves completely. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches a full boil.

3. Simmer and Stir: Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and keep stirring for an additional minute. This helps the sauce thicken and the flavors meld together beautifully.

4. Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the sauce sit for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, to cool slightly and thicken to a pourable consistency.

5. Serve: Drizzle the warm lemon butter sauce generously over your favorite unfrosted cake. This sauce complements dense, buttery cakes and adds a refreshing citrus flavor.
