Directions
This was a recipe request, and seeing as I love lemon in cakes, I couldn't wait to make it :)
- Cream together the butter and sugar, until smooth, using an electric whisk
- Add the eggs and lemon zest and continue whisking till combined
- Add the flour and salt, and fold using a spatula or spoon until well combined, then add the milk and fold it in
- Add the cake batter into a greased and lined loaf tin, and place in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 40-45 mins, or until the skewer comes out clean
- Meanwhile, make the syrup by placing the lemon juice and icing sugar in a small pot, and gently heating it until the sugar dissolves
- As soon as the cake is out of the oven, whilst it is still hot and in its tin, poke lots of holes in the cake and pour the syrup over it. Set aside and leave it to cool
- Once the cake is completely cool, take it out of its tin, mix the lemon and icing sugar for the glaze together until smooth and white (more icing sugar can be added if needed), then drizzle it over the cake
Love the taste of this cake. It will be a definite hit when you make it inshAllah! Enjoy :)
