Best Ever Lemon Drizzle Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 lemon, zested
- Lemon Glaze:
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 7 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Measure ingredients into bowls. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and pale. Add 1 egg at a time, beating until the batter returns to a uniform pale color before adding the next. Sift in flour gradually. Fold with a wooden spoon to be sure flour is combined. Add baking powder and lemon zest.
Step 3
Pour batter into the prepared pan, being careful not to press it down.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Try not to open the oven door early to avoid collapsing the fluffy cake.
Step 5
Juice the zested lemon into a small bowl. Add the zest and juice of the second lemon. Stir in 7 tablespoons sugar until dissolved. Pour glaze over the warm cake and leave to cool in the pan; glaze will harden as the cake cools.
