Method
Preheat oven to 180C
1. Begin by placing the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. In a larger bowl mix the rest of the ingredients and whisk together using an electric hand mixer for approximately 5 minutes.
2. Sift in the first 4 ingredients and mix until all is well combined. Pour cake batter into a greased loaf tin and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C or 160C in a fan-assisted oven. Each oven may vary slightly.
3. Bake for 30 – 45 minutes or until you can insert a knife or skewer in the cake and find it comes out clean.
4. When ready, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to rest in the tin for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Make the lemon icing by mixing together the ingredients and drizzle on top of the cake. Allow the icing to set.
