Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious cake:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for the drizzle)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for the drizzle)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until everything is just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When the cake is cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
- Slice up the cake and enjoy the bright, zesty flavors! Share with your loved ones, or keep it all to yourself—it’s that good!
