Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add a pinch of salt and 1 tsp lemon juice, then mix. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Gradually add flour and baking powder, mixing well. Pour in milk and 3 tbsp lemon juice, stirring until smooth.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 23 x 11 cm (9 x 4 inch) loaf pan. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, mix condensed milk (3-4 tbsp) and lemon juice (2 tsp) until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and spread evenly. Sprinkle lemon zest on top for a fresh citrus aroma.
