Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 60 ml fresh lemon juice
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 ml whole milk
- 150 grams powdered sugar
- 30 ml lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x13 inch baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the lemon zest and fresh lemon juice, and mix until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the tray for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the tray and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to run slightly over the edges.
Cut into 12 slices and serve. Enjoy your delicious lemon cake slice!
