🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter

  softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 lemon

  zested
• 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

  about 1 ½ lemons
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8" x 4" loaf pan; set aside.
• 2 Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Then beat in the
  eggs, one at a time, until fully combined and stir in the lemon zest.
• 3 Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt and fold into the butter mixture. Then
  spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• 4 Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a thin cake tester (or toothpick) inserted
  in the center comes out clean.
• 5 Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan while making the drizzle.
• 6 To make the drizzle, mix together the lemon juice and sugar until combined.
• 7 Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork. Pour the drizzle over the
  top of the cake, this will allow the juice to seep into the cake making it moist
  and delicious. The top will form a beautiful crisp topping.
• 8 Keep the cake in the pan until completely cool, then remove, slice, and serve.
