    Instructions

    Bake the cake

    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease a 20cm round cake tin.

    • In a large bowl, mix together the Emborg Unsalted Butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy.

    • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

    • Sift in the flour and baking powder, then fold into the mixture until fully combined.

    • Add the lemon zest and Emborg Full Cream Milk 3.5%, and mix until smooth.

    • Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and level the top with a spatula.

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

    • Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Make the glaze

    • In a bowl, sift the icing sugar to remove any lumps.

    • Gradually add the lemon juice, stirring continuously until you achieve a thick, smooth consistency. If desired, add a few drops of yellow food colouring to give the glaze a vibrant yellow hue.

    • Once the cake is completely cool, pour the thick glaze over the top of the cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

    • Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.

    For an extra burst of lemon flavor, you can add a bit more lemon zest to the batter or sprinkle some lemon zest on top of the glaze before it sets.
