A Delicious Dessert for Any Occasion

Step 1

To Prepare the Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan and set aside. 

2. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. 

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 

4. Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract and mix until combined. 

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. 

6. Slowly stir in the milk until everything is incorporated and pour batter into the prepared pan. 

7. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 

8. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. 

Step 2

To Prepare The Glaze

Whisk together the lemon juice, milk, and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Pour glaze over the cooled cake using an offset spatula or spoon to spread it evenly across the top of your cake before serving.  

Step 3

Toppings and Decorations 

To make it even better, you can top up your cake with a silky smooth and delicious non-dairy whipping cream. Also, if you're into decorating your cakes, a white fondant or tooty fruity will be a great choice to go along with a lemon cake.
