- 200 g unsalted butter softened
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Zest of 2 lemons
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 100 g powdered sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon for drizzle
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a round cake pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet mixture.
Fold in the lemon zest and juice until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the drizzle by mixing powdered sugar and lemon juice.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.
