Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a 25 cm loaf pan.
  2. Whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale and slightly foamy.
  3. Add the oil, the zest and juice of two lemons and mix.
  4. Fold in the flour, baking powder and the pinch of salt, whisking just enough to combine.
  5. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a skewer comes out dry.
  6. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
  7. Make the glaze by mixing icing sugar and lemon juice until thick.
  8. Spread the glaze over the warm cake and let it set before slicing.

Variations and tips

Yogurt version. Replace the oil with 150 g of plain yogurt for an even moister cake.
