Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1) Beat together the butter, sugar, and salt, first till combined, then till fluffy.
  • 2) Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • 3) Add the baking powder, then add the flour alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until smooth. Stir in the grated lemon rind or lemon oil.
  • 4) Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • 5) Bake the cake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • 6) While the cake is baking, make the glaze by stirring together the lemon juice and sugar. Set it aside.
  • 7) Remove the cake from the oven, and set it on a rack. After 5 minutes, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen, and turn the cake out onto a rack. Place another rack on top, and flip it over, so it's right-side-up.
  • 8) Poke the hot cake all over with a cake tester or toothpick.
  • 9) Stir the glaze to combine, and immediately brush it on the hot cake. Let it sink in, then brush on more glaze, continuing until all the glaze is used up.
  • 10) Allow the cake to cool before slicing
