Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Loaf pan
  • Zester

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 fresh lemons (zest and juice)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan so it doesn’t stick. Line it with parchment paper for extra help.
  • Mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results. Watch it turn pale yellow.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Stir in lemon zest and juice. Fresh lemons smell incredible here.
  • Fold in flour, baking powder, and salt gently. Don’t overmix—stop when combined. The batter should look smooth.
  • Pour batter into the pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out clean. Cool before adding glaze.

Notes

For a twist, add poppy seeds or a dollop of yogurt to enhance flavor and moisture. This versatile cake adapts well to personal taste variations.
