Ingredients

  • 175g Plain Flour
  • 1tsp Baking Powder
  • half a tsp Salt
  • half a tsp Bicarbonate of soda
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1tsp Vanilla extract
  • 175g butter – softened
  • 175g sugar
  • zest and juice of 1 large lemon

Lemon Icing

  • 250g Icing Sugar
  • 2 -3 tbsp Whole Milk
  • 2 tbsp Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

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.
