Glazed Lemon Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Cake:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Glaze:
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Prepare the Glaze:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more lemon juice; if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  5. Glaze the Cake:
    • Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the lemon glaze over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve:
    • Cut the glazed lemon cake into squares and serve. This cake is delicious on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy your delightful glazed lemon cake!
