Serves 10
Ingredients:
Lemon sponge cake
200 grams / 1 cup superfine/caster sugar
10 grams / 2 tablespoons lemon zest finely chopped
200 grams / 7 ounces butter room temperature
165 grams / 3 large eggs room temperature
200 grams / 1 ¼ cups plain flour sifted
6 grams / 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
Lemon glaze
115 grams / 1 cup confectioner’s/icing sugar sifted
21 grams / 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 180C/350F and lightly greaseproof a loaf tin, lining the base with greaseproof paper.
- Place the sugar and lemon zest into a bowl and rub together to coat the zest thoroughly with sugar and draw out the oils in the peel.
- Add the butter and beat until pale and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes with an electric beater.
- Add the eggs and whip until combined, approximately 1 minute.
- Stir the flour and baking powder together and add to the wet ingredients.
- Beat on low until just combined and no dry portions remain in your bowl.
- Spoon your batter into your loaf tin and spread out evenly.
- Optional step: Place a thin line of butter into the center of your cake before baking (this helps it rise evenly in the center).
- Place in the oven and bake until golden and slightly pulling away from the sides of the tin, approximately 55 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack.
Lemon glaze
- Whilst the cake is still warm, place the confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice into a small bowl and stir together until it drizzles off your spoon when you lift it up.
- Optional step: Whilst warm, brush over 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice before topping with your glaze.
- Slowly and surely drizzle over your lightly warm cake and allow to cool fully to set.
- Slice it up and serve with your favorite hot beverage.
