Ingrédients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Fold in the self-raising flour and milk, alternating between the two, until fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the lemon zest.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, combine the lemon juice and powdered sugar to make the drizzle.
  • Once the cake is baked, let it cool for 10 minutes before poking holes all over the top with a skewer or fork.
  • Pour the lemon drizzle over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
