Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix all of your ingredients together in a bowl using a whisk, making sure everything is evenly combined. Zest your lemon and mix it into the mixture with a spoon.

  2. 2

    Once everything is evenly mixed and no lumps are present, pour your batter into a cake tin or tin of your choice.

  3. 3

    Preheat your oven to 170°c. While your oven is preheating let your cake batter sit in the tin for 10mins.

  4. 4

    Once preheated, transfer your cake batter into the oven, preferably on the middle rack.

  5. 5

    Let your cake bake for 50mins.

  6. 6

    10mins before baking process is done, start on your lemon syrup using your zested lemon juice and powdered sugar.

  7. 7

    Juice your zested lemon in a bowl and stir in powdered sugar. Mix until the powdered sugar is lumpy. These lumps will dissolve once poured onto the hot cake.

  8. 8

    Once your cake is out of the oven, immediately poke holes into the top and sides of the cake and pour over your syrup. Let it rest for 20mins

  9. 9

    Serve and enjoy!

Nicole's Tips

  • 💡Do not open oven while baking as this will cause the cake to sink in the middle.
