Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.
