Hello friends! How are you today? 🥰 Cooking oil. Grease well. Tin size: 2lb (21x11x7cm). Loaf tin liner or parchment paper. Set aside and turn on the oven to 180C / 360F / Gas mark 4. 200g (1+2/3 cup) plain flour. I highly recommend using scales. 2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. Mix well.

Set aside for later. 200g (1 cup) sugar. Zest of 2 lemons (2 tablespoons). Rub it in to release the flavour. 200g (1 cup) room temperature unsalted butter. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk for 3 minutes until light and creamy. On medium-high speed. Scrape down the sides of the boewl.

Sift in dry ingredients from earlier. Mix it in gently. Just until no streaks of flour are visible. Don’t over mix. Bake in a preheated oven on the middle rack, at 180C / 360F / gas mark 4, for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Every oven is different.

Let it cool down in a tin for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile let’s prepare lemon syrup. Sift 90g (2/3 cup) powdered sugar. 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice (approx 2 lemons). Mix well. Sift any remaining lumps. Poke holes in a cake. Pour the syrup evenly over the cake.
