🍰 Desserts

Sharp lemon syrup soaked into a buttery loaf, the teatime cake that wakes up the table. The kind of simple, generous cake that disappears before it cools. Keeps well covered for three days — if it lasts that long.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salta pinch
Lemon1
Eggs3
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Brown Sugar1/2 cup
Lemon Zest1 tbsp

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F, grease the tin and dust it so nothing sticks later.
2
Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time.
3
Fold the flour and lemon zest through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.
4
Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.
5
Cool completely, then frost or dust — a warm cake melts frosting into a puddle.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
