Easy lemon drizzle cake made in a loaf pan with a zesty lemon glaze.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.75 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 7 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Gradually sift in flour and baking powder, then gently fold with a wooden spoon until fully combined. Finally, stir in the lemon zest.
  • Gently transfer the batter into the pan without compacting it.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Avoid opening the oven door early to maintain the cake's fluffy texture.
  • Prepare the lemon glaze while the cake is baking: Squeeze the juice of the zested lemon from the cake batter into a small bowl. Mix in the zest and juice of another lemon. Stir in sugar until fully dissolved; adjust sweetness or tartness with more sugar or lemon juice as desired.
  • Pour the glaze over the warm cake and allow it to cool in the pan until the glaze sets.
