Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (for drizzle)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for drizzle)
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a loaf tin.
- Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk, lemon zest, and sifted flour, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the drizzle: In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with the powdered sugar until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze: Once the cake has cooled, poke a few small holes on top with a skewer and pour the lemon drizzle evenly over the cake, letting it soak in.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy this tangy, moist lemon cake!
