For the cake:
1 1/2cupsall-purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1cupgranulated sugar4 large eggs
Zest of 3 lemons
For the drizzle:
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2cuppowdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Put all of the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer or stand mixer until the batter is smooth.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is still warm, use a skewer to poke holes all over the cake.
Mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice until combined. Pour all over the warm cake and allow to sink in. I like to pour about half of the drizzle on first, then let it sink in for a few minutes before adding a second coat of drizzle, but you could do it all at once.
