I thought you might need an easy, bright, and zesty Lemon Loaf Cake to add a little sunshine to your day! This soft, moist, and beautifully glazed cake is just the midweek pick-me-up you didn’t know you needed. Enjoy! 🍋🍋🍋

Quick and Easy Lemon Loaf Cake 

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45–50 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

Cake Batter:

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 (113g) stick of butter, melted
1 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt

Syrup:
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar

Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F Grease and line a 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and heavy cream, mixing until well combined.
Slowly pour in the melted butter while whisking continuously.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, combine water, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over low, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
Pour the lemon syrup over the top. Let the cake absorb the syrup and cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
